WRiTinG Question thanks to you!

<p>DESPITE the constant pressure of schoolwork and sports, Terry HAS NEVER BEEN more HAPPIER than SHE IS NOW, in her senior year. NO ERROR</p>

<p>I'm confused. </p>

<p>Answer is HAPPY INSTEAD OF HAPPIER </p>

<p>Whats the rule to this? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>“More happier” is redundant. </p>

<p>Either “more happy” or “happier” works. Both are the comparative form of the word happy.</p>

<p>Is it that more…+er doesn’t work?</p>

<p>Nope, it doesn’t work. Just add more or add -er to an adjective (if possible). </p>

<p>Some adjectives don’t take -er; “intelligent” doesn’t becomes “intelligenter” but “more intelligent.”</p>

<p>I am more intelligent than my teacher.</p>

<p>^So its either more or +er </p>

<p>Not both at the same time right?</p>

<p>That’s right - don’t use more and “-er” at the same time.</p>
