Question

Spot the error and rewrite the correct sentence: She is more shorter than her brother. She is more shorter than her brother.

Hint:

When using comparatives ending in "er," do not add "more." Just use the comparative form directly.

Answer 1

The error in the sentence is the use of "more" with "shorter." The word "shorter" is already the comparative form of "short," so adding "more" is redundant. In English, we do not use "more" before comparatives that already end in "er." Thus, the correct sentence is: \[ \boxed{\text{She is shorter than her brother.}} \]
