### note

«gets/found N more», «a further N» or «N additional» means adding. Trap: «how many more … than» or «by how many does A exceed B» asks for a difference: subtract. «Tom has 3 more than Ali» with Ali's amount given asks you to add 3 to Ali's. Use «more» with long adjectives (more careful) and -er with short ones (bigger), not both («more bigger» is wrong). «no more» means zero left.
