There are ten comparative or grade quantifiers: much, many, more, most, few, fewer, fewest, little, less, and least.

Much, many, more and most describe  (in ascending order) increase; much is used only with uncountable nouns, many only with plural countable nouns, and more and most with both.

            I have many apples. < I have more apples. < I have the most apples.

Few, fewer, fewest, little, less and least chart decrease. The first three (in descending order) are used only with countable plural nouns. The last  three (in descending order) are used only with uncountable nouns.

            He has few friends. > He has fewer friends. > He has the fewest friends.

            He has little time. > He has less time. > He has the least time.
