Kiến thức: So sánh hơn
Giải chi tiết:
"little" (rất ít) và "less" (ít hơn - dạng so sánh hơn của "little") đi với danh từ không đếm được
"fewer" (rất ít) đi với danh từ số nhiều đếm được
"more" (nhiều – dạng so sánh hơn của "many" hoặc "much") đi với cả danh từ số nhiều đếm được và không đếm được
"conflicts" là danh từ số nhiều đếm được => dùng "fewer" phù hợp với ngữ cảnh nhất
There are times when the children fight over simple matters and this happens if the parents do or not interfere but when parents set the rule and let the children follow, there will be (29) fewer conflicts.
Tạm dịch: Có những lúc khi trẻ xung đột vì những vấn đề đơn giản và điều này xảy ra nếu cha mẹ có hoặc không can thiệp nhưng khi cha mẹ đặt ra những luật lệ và để trẻ tuân theo, sẽ có ít các cuộc xung đột hơn
