One-Point English Lesson: Using More with Nouns
More can be used as a determiner before a noun to mean “additional” or “a greater amount.” You can use more + plural noun or more + non-countable noun.
- I enjoyed my vacation, but I wish I had more time for sightseeing.
- Would you like more soup?
- Jack said he needs more wood to complete his project.
- We expected more people to come to the meeting.
You can also use more + noun to make a comparison with than.
- There are more skyscrapers in New York than there are in Boston.
- Jack worked more hours than Bob did last week.
- I have more pens than I need, so please take some.
- We saw more old buildings in Kyoto than we saw in Tokyo.
