The fewer people that know, the better. There were fewer children at camp.
You may have fewer ingredients but less salt. Or, people are buying fewer newspapers because they have less money. However, according to usage rules, 'fewer' is used when using countable things and 'less' is used for singular mass nouns
I think you want to say how do you use rural in a sentence, right? You could say: in the US, most people live in urban areas and fewer live in rural areas.
With punishment guidelines in place, fewer judges can issue a sentence simply for attitude.
Yeah, of course! Here's an example: There are fewer students here today than yesterday's assembly. Or: After the war, the South was left with even fewer materials than they started with. Also: Fewer kids came to Sarah's party than to Flora's party. Hope this helped!
If there were fewer of us, I could speak less.
"The father of one's father" is the circumlocution of "grandfather".

For a countable noun use fewer, for uncountable nouns use less.
The correct process for using "less" or "fewer" depends on whether you are referring to countable or uncountable nouns. Use "fewer" for countable items (e.g., fewer apples) and "less" for uncountable quantities (e.g., less water). A helpful tip is to remember that if you can count the items individually, use "fewer"; if not, use "less."
The theory is that you use fewer for countable things and less for uncountable things. For example fewer coins but less money; fewer teeth but less hair; fewer bananas but less fruit; fewer hats but less clothing. [You may have 6 coins, 25 teeth, 12 bananas and 7 hats but the other things don't go with numbers.)I have FEWER cats than dogs.I have FEWER pencils than pensThere are FEWER buildings in the country than in the city.Hope this helps:)
Using "a lot" to mean much or many is very informal. "Many fewer" is better.
It is my theory that the world needs to have fewer people living in it so that the environment will not be damaged.
