English Test Question , Please help
Hi , I wonder if you can answer my question - I recently wrote an English test and part of the test was a Cloze passage where you fill in the missing word .
A point was taken off for the following sentence "Edison's Inventions made people's lives more ____ " . I would like to know if filling in "simple" in the missing space is correct ? I know it is better English to use the word simpler instead of more simple but is this just convention or is there an actual english grammar rule forbidding the usage of this form . As far as i know in school i always learned that words with more than 2 syllables can get either a more or the addition -er except for a few exceptions such as beautiful or longer sylabble words "
I would appreciate the answer asap because i would like to argue this point being taken off the test.
Best Regards
Asaf
