Class 1:

Less is used for uncountable things and fewer is used for countable things

Eg: He drinks less water & He drank fewer glasses of water than the other day.

Water is not countable- so less. Glasses is countable so use few

When to use comma before and

Explanation:

Use comma before and only if it joins two independent clauses?

What is an independent clause? ... any sentence that stands on it own

Eg: I waste my time on afdb everyday ( Independent)

     The dog is well trained ( Dependent - there is no verb)

Case 1: I waste my time on adfb everyday, and on youtube on every weekday ( Here and joins two independent sentences that can stand on it own, so use comma before and)

Case 2: The dog is well trained and good natured ( both the sentences cant stand on its own ..so no comma before and)

Whatever written after "and" should always refer to the noun nearest to it

Eg: I ate a lot of food, packed my bag and then stopped eating more. ( Incorrect)

     I packed my bag, ate a lot food and then stopped eating more ( correct)

Has is used for single nouns and Have for plural nouns

Eg: Peter has a big d*ck.

     Peter and his friends have big d*cks. :)

If you have a plural noun, you should replace "its" with "their"

both is plural

animate/inanimate doesn't matter
