Why not "more"?

The comparative of good is better. Much better means a lot better - better by far.

Maybe, you are referring to the comparative of long adjectives such as more expensive, more intelligent, more beautiful etc.?

So, you can say, A Mercedes is much more expensive than a Toyota but it's also much better.

Hey,

Can I say considerably better?
Does an expression considerably better equal to an expression much better?

Best wishes,
Simon

Hi Simon,

If you wanted some sort of scale showing degrees of being better, then considerably would be higher up the scale than much.You might be interested to know that there is a conversational expression that is used to encourage someone for making good progress in doing these tests for example and that is: That's much much better.
