Hi,

I would like to ask if we can use 'too more' in any sentence or not.

-There are too more cars in the street than I expected.

Thanks.

You can start the senence with

There are too many cars...

I'm not sure if that's what you meant.

But if you start it with that, you can't end it with "than I expected".

You can say:

There are many cars in the street.
There are too many cars in the street. (Some extra context would be needed to explain why it's "too many". Too many for what?)
There are more cars in the street than I expected.
There are many more cars in the street than I expected.

We have no way of knowing which one you mean.

Thank you for pointing this out. I think I now see what aysaa wanted to say.

Edit: you beat me to it ;-)

Did you mean, "two more"? :roll: (Unfortunately, this seems to be relatively common, just like they're/there, you're/your, etc. :-| )
