Question

correct the sentence: this pen is much more cheaper than that
​

Answer 1

This pen is cheaper than that.

Explanation:

• In this sentence the error is "much more" which is used along with "cheaper" which is itself a comparative degree.
• As the comparison is being made between two pens.
• Therefore comparative degree of cheap will be used here that is cheaper.
• In this sentence two degrees are used both positive and comparative.
• Which is wrong. Only One degree will be used and that is comparative means "Cheaper".

Thus we can say that

This pen is cheaper than that.

Answer 2

This pen is cheaper than that

Explanation:

• This is the correct sentence since when a term of comparison, such as greener, healthier, better, cleaner, is used, words like more are not added to them since these terms are already terms of comparison and reveal that one thing is better than ther other.
• The assertive form of Cheap is "Cheap". The comparitive form is "Cheaper" and its corresponding superlative form is "Cheapest".
• For adjectives which are one syllable, add -er to its end.
• For adjectives which are two syllables and which are not ending in "y" and for all three-or-more-syllable adjectives, it uses the form as “more + adjective.”
• For adjectives which are two syllables and which are ending in "y", change the letter "y" to "i" and add "er".
• Therefore, as per the grammatical principle, this pen is cheaper than that is correct.
