I'm an ESL teacher. Been teaching in China for 10 years. This is a fantastic video! With the a/an, I usually explain to my students that you'll need to use "an" if the following word starts with a vowel. It's simple for them if they have already gotten the vowels down pretty well along with the spelling of the vocabulary for the lesson. Thanks for the video. Subscribed. Cheers

Actually, "less than two pounds" is correct, because it's referring to the weight, not the number of pounds per se. And related to that, amount is often used incorrectly instead of number, as in "amount of people" and "amount of cars".

[@User-vz4xm]

you're right, I've looked up, it's definitely less than two pounds.

[@ygorsh]

I first read about the “amount/number” rule in Michael Swan’s book ages ago. Now everyone says “amount” +countables on tv: large amounts of people instead of large numbers of people, which is correct.

[@ironsword7]

and in maths you use the symbols < and > (less than and greater than). Fewer than X pounds sounds wrong.

I was taught if the H is pronounced (hotel, hockey) it's a, but if the H is not pronounced (hour, honour, honest) it's an.

[@scarlettnovalee4439]

Yeah. Its like saying " I will be there in (an) hour." saying a hour doesnt mean sense you know? lol.

[@englishchannel3786]

English is weird...

[@AkiraNakamoto]

Because hotel and hockey start with a consonant sound, hour and honour start with a vowel sound.

[@Sahrul-qr2nm]

So it depends on vowel voice then.

[@10538overture]

Yes, a/an is a convention making to English easier to speak.

[@lingosavvy1]

I disagree with your closing example for "less vs fewer." "He weighs less than two pounds" is correct. "He weighs fewer than two pounds" is at the very least awkward. The reason is that the meaning is that he weighs less than the "entity" of "two pounds." Would you say "his weight is fewer than two pounds?" I would think not. You would say "his weight is less than two pounds," not "his weight is fewer than two pounds."

[@elenilou1851]

I agree with you, I made the same question myself

[@barongerhardt]

I partially agree. In that example both seem valid. I don't know if it is an "American English" thing or from using the mathematical operator "less than" (

[@bruce2001nl]

100% correct. Weight is measured, not counted. So "less" is correct in this example.

[@anonza7733]

I'm a native speaker, but I still love your videos, Lucy! I swear you could sell sand in the desert :P Must say that I disagree with "weighing fewer than 2 pounds", though. You're referring to the total weight, not the individual pounds. Similarly, I would say, "I waited for less than 30 minutes", rather than "I waited for fewer than 30 minutes". Otherwise it sounds like an accumulation of individual minutes, as opposed to a time period.

[@durabelle]

Thank you, I came to see if someone else agrees that this one was a mistake, although otherwise the explanation for fewer/less sounded right! The way I understand it you would only use fewer when measuring weight with actual pound weights, so there wouldn't be a continuous scale from zero onwards but just 0, 1, 2 etc. as possible weights. In this case the baby could easily weigh 1.99 pounds, so it needs to be less.

[@peterpaldor5866]

@@durabelle In my ears fewer sounds wrong. 1.99 pounds is less than 2 Pounds, not fewer.

[@SuperDriver07]

Agree. Also, 'it costs less than thirty pounds' but 'in my wallet I found fewer pounds than I expected'

[@durabelle]

@@peterpaldor5866 Yes, I agree. But exactly 1 pound could also be fewer than 2 pounds.

[@johnthere297]

correct! it's definitely not fewer than

[@wakabaloola]

4:21 I think that weight is uncountable (because there’s in principle an infinite number of possible values within any given finite range), so I believe the correct statement is ‘the baby weighed less than two pounds at birth). At least going by the standard definitions of the words countable or uncountable. (Eg, anything that takes values in the real numbers is uncountable whereas anything that takes values in the integers is countable.)

[@Ryutaro1978]

Hello, Lucy, First off, congratulations on your wedding. I wish you and your husband the best. Well, I have some doubts regarding the use of 'less' and 'fewer'. You say that 'less' is used on singular and uncountable nouns, whereas 'fewer' is used on plural and countable nouns; I understood that. However, according to another English teaching channel, they say that there is an exception when it comes to quantities and measures, which in this case, we've got to use 'less' instead of ' fewer '. So, the correct thing would be 'less than two pounds' instead of 'fewer than two pounds'. Could you clarify this, please? Thanks and greetings from Venezuela!

Actually, number 2 should be: 'The baby weighed less than two pounds at birth.' because the weight could very likely be a portion of a pound. You would only say fewer if a baby's weight were always rounded up to the nearest whole number. I hope that makes sense.

The last one is the only one, that I as a german would make. All the others seem to be rather native speakers' mistakes, that may originate from specific regions. That doesn't mean a foreign speaker who learns the language by (possibly wrong) example couldn't adopt them. The last one stands out, because it can be seen as a false translation of germen, as we use "in" when referring to a travel destination in the past, so you really have to remember, that this is different in English.

[@michaelwhaley8085]

Thanks for the interesting lesson, I have often heard the confusion with me/I and a/an, glad to have an expert chime in on it. Something else I've heard more and more recently that I believe is incorrect is using whenever instead of using when, for example, "I let my hair grow long whenever I started high school", is that right or wrong?

[@set_your_heart_ablaze-444]

In that instance, "when" would be incorrect. Whenever is generally used with actions that repeat or have the potential of being repeated. For example, "I am uneasy whenever I'm with a group of people" or "I will be ready whenever I am tested for this subject"

[@set_your_heart_ablaze-444]

Also whenever is more commonly used when (no pun intended) the time for an event is uncertain like, "I'll come over whenever I feel like it" Though in that case when is also correct.

[@melindar.fischer5106]

"whenever" is wrong in that sentence. I let my hair grow long WHEN I started high school" is correct. It answers the question "When did you let your hair grow long?" It refers to a specific time = when. An example: "When did you start learning English?" Answer: "When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989." or a longer version of that answer: "I started learning English when the Berlin Wall fell in 1989."

[@lynnsartncrafts]

You can only start high school once, you cannot repeat the action so it is "when" not "whenever" "Whenever" is for when the situation is repeated

Hello Lucy, The confusion between would've, could've, should've etc. is one I've experienced with even native English language speakers too. A New Yorker friend of mine once heard this while one the N.Y. subway (underground), i.e., "... but you used to could of". You might like to cover the common misuse of "was" for "were" too -- mostly made by native English speakers too, i.e., "if I was vs if I were". For example "If I was late, please excuse me" vs If I were you, I wouldn't ..." I often correct my English colleagues when they use "was" in the conditional sentence.

Thanks for sharing Lucy :)

Hi Lucy, extremely helpful video! I thought you'd mention the word hour with its article, it would have been an amazing example!

[@ShakeelAhmad-vh7iv]

Hour is always "an hour", but you better read my comments to Lucy and know something more interesting. THANKS (SHAKEEL)

I love your videos, you're a very good teacher, a smiling teacher. Congrats on your wedding!

[@EpicPianoArrangements]

I’m pretty sure number two has to be incorrect. While I understand and agree with point 1, weight is something that’s not always to a whole value. You get decimal values as well, ‘she weighed less than 2 pounds’ would actually make sense because the answer isn’t always rounded to the nearest whole number. You wouldn’t say, ‘she is fewer than 6 feet tall’. 🤨

[@qbox4277]

Right. If it was plural, we would say 20 kilograms were heavy. That makes no sense.

[@huonghayley]

Yeah. Its like 'it takes less than two hours to drive there' instead of 'fewer than two hours'.

[@g.d.1800]

Hi Lucyyy! Hope you're doing well. I've got two questions regarding this video: 1) I understand "she weighed fewer than two pounds" being the correct one, but in the case of "much less" could we have said "she weighed much less than two pounds" or would we have to say "a lot fewer than two pounds"? 2) Regarding "him and I", I don't know... but I always tend to use "me and him" (I'm sure natives do that, too). Like, "me" tends to be used instead of "I" a lot. For example, if someone asks "Who was there when the accident happened?", I'd reply "me" and not "I". Would "me" be wrong in that sentence? What about "me and him"? Any further clarifications about "me" in general? Thanks a lot!!!

[@bruce2001nl]

On point 2 Lucy was incorrect in this video, it should be "The baby weighed less than two pounds at birth" because weight is measured, not counted, so "pounds" is not a countable noun. Similarly, it should be "she weighed much less than two pounds", not "she weighed a lot fewer than two pounds".
