Doubt in sentence

Dear all,

I would like to know whether the following sentence is correct.

"Tomy is way more stronger than Alex".


Thanks in advance.

No, it's not. 1- "more stronger" is wrong. Note that "more" is used only with adjectives that cannot form comparatives with the "-er" suffix.

2- "way" in the above context is an adverb (meaning "much"); it modifies "stronger". If you want, you can add another adverb before it, e.g. "really way stronger".
