Comparisons with nouns

We can use more, less and fewer with noun phrases to create comparisons which are similar to
the comparative forms of adjectives and adverbs:
There was more snow  this year than last year.
She has more problems than most people.
You should eat less junk food and start to take better care of your health.
There are fewer birds in the countryside now than there were 30 years ago.
To show a big difference use:

much/far + more/less + uncountable noun

e.g. There was much less snow this year in winter

many/far + more/fewer + countable nouns

e.g. I’ve read many more books this month than last month.
To show a small difference use:

A little/a bit/slightly + more/less(uncountable)/fewer(countable) + noun

e.g. She got a bit less money for that task than him.

To show small or no difference use:

(nearly) as + many/much + noun + as

e.g. They have earned nearly as much money as he did.
