We use the quantifier more to talk about additional quantities, amounts and degree. Moreis a comparative word.

More with nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, prepositions

We use more with different classes of words. We use more after verbs but before every other word class:

We can use more with plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns:

We need more information before we can make a decision. (uncountable)

When we use more before articles (a/an, the), demonstratives (this, that), possessives (my, your) or pronouns (him, it), we need of:

We usually leave out the noun after more when the noun is obvious:

We often use more and more to emphasise an increase or decrease in something:

When we are talking about more time, we usually use longer rather than more:
