2006Dear friends,
"The Batman started to change. He became a bit [STRIKE]more[/STRIKE] darker"
Can we use 'a bit more plus comparative' structure like this? No, you can't. "a bit" is not relevant; you cannot say "more darker" or more 'any other comparative'. In your sentence "more" adds nothing to the meaning.
If this is your sentence, Heidi, you need to drop 'The' too.
He's just 'Batman'.

But "a bit (more)(less)" can also be followed by an adjective.Thank you 2006, Rover, fivejedjon.
I just looked it up in my dictionary. it seems that if we use 'a bit more' or 'a bit less', it must be followed by a noun, is that right? see below
Let me make a sentence and please see if it's correct:
Can you give me a bit more advice? :tick:
It's not necessary when the noun can be implied.I just looked up my dictionary. it seems that if we use 'a bit more' or 'a bit less', it must be followed by a noun, is that right?

I think it should be a bit more salty. :tick:
Yes. I prefer saltier, but more salty sounds fine to me.Is more salty an acceptable comparative for salty?
