Hi students, it's Shana from EspressoEnglish.net, and today I'm going to explain why we never
use the phrase, more better.
I sometimes hear students say this, for example, my English is getting more better, but it's
always incorrect.
The reason is this, to compare good things, we use good, better, and best.
For example, Maria's English is good.
Yvonne's English is better than Maria's.
Sonia's English is the best in the class.
And to compare bad things, we use bad, worse, and worst.
For example, the first movie was bad.
The second movie was worse than the first.
The third movie was the worst of all.
We only use more and most to compare with adjectives that are longer words, like convenient,
interesting, or expensive.
For example, this book is interesting.
The documentary is more interesting than the book.
This is the most interesting class I've ever taken.
But we never use more or most together with better or worse, okay?
Now, we can use the word much with better or worse to add extra emphasis and say that
something is a lot better or worse, not just a little bit better or worse.
For example, now I understand this topic much better.
The weather will get much worse this weekend.
That means a lot better and a lot worse.
And we can also add much to the comparative adjectives that use more.
For example, washing clothes in a machine is much more convenient than washing clothes
by hand.
A car is much more expensive than a bicycle.
Again, we are saying that it's a lot more convenient or expensive, not just a little.
I hope this helps make things clear.
