Question

Point out the error in the following incorrect sentence:
I can learn poems more easy than speeches.

A.

I can

B.

more easy

C.

learn poems

D.

than speeches

Correct option is B


Solution: Correct Answer: (b) more easy
Explanation:
The error lies in the use of “more easy.”
The adjective “easy” is a simple adjective that forms its comparative degree by adding “-er” — not by using “more.”
Hence, “more easy” is grammatically wrong.
The correct comparative form is “easier.”
So, the correct sentence is:
I can learn poems easier than speeches.
Information Booster:
In English, adjectives can form their comparative and superlative degrees in two ways:
By adding –er / –est (for short adjectives):
easy → easier → easiest
tall → taller → tallest
By using “more” / “most” (for longer adjectives):
beautiful → more beautiful → most beautiful
Additional Knowledge:
Common error students make is mixing both forms (e.g., more easier, most happiest).
Remember this simple rule —
Short adjectives → add “-er” or “-est”
Long adjectives → use “more” or “most”
