Why is “more easier” wrong?
Compare two things and show exactly how big the difference is.

The key idea
With short adjectives, -er is usually used, and with longer adjectives more: cheaper, more expensive. Don't pile the two on top of each other in the same comparison: not more cheaper.
Than links the two sides: This course is cheaper than that one. To show equality, use as … as.
There are also irregular forms: good → better, bad → worse.
See an example
Wrong: The second task is more easier.
Correction: The second task is easier.
The second task is much easier than the first.
Much strengthens the comparison here; it does not create a second comparative form. For a small difference you can say slightly easier.
Now you try
Complete the gaps.
- This library is ___ than the café. (quiet)
- The online course is ___ expensive than the campus course. (the cost is lower)
- My new room is as ___ as my old one. (small)

Answer and explanation
- quieter — the comparative form.
- less — less expensive means “not as expensive”.
- small — between as … as, the basic form of the adjective is used.
Now compare two real places where you study: choose only one of price, quietness or distance.
