1. I don't feel better.
2. I don't feel any better.
3. I don't feel even better.
1 is of course correct.
Also we often come across 2.
My question is ....
Is it correct to say like 3 ? I've learned ( and taught ) that degree modifiers for comparatives are 'far, much, eve, still. a lot, and a little'.
'I don't feel even better' sounds awkward to me since it is a negative sentence.
I think we should use any to modify comparatives in negative sentences.
Am I right? ㅡ,ㅡ
