Use of MORE for
Comparative Degree
Use of MORE for Comparative Degree :
The comparative degree works in three ways:
(i) you add --er
(ii) you use the word 'more' and leave the adjective unchanged.
(iii) you use a different word.
Eg: old -- older, beautiful -- more beautiful, good -- better.
The common mistake is to use 'better' with 'more'.
The word 'better' suggests the comparative -- the word 'good' is replaced by 'better' so there is no need to add the word 'more'
