It's about using "more"

Question

Hello everyone here. I have some questions about "more" as i explained it on the headline.

1-) Don't give me more damage or Don't give me damage more.

I think that they are fairly similar.

2-) I have more pens than you or I have pens more than you or I have pens which are more than your(s).

(Which ones are correct?)

3-) You must run more than normal.

(Is that correct?)

4-) I have problems more serious than yours.

(Is that correct?)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Jawel1-) Don't give me more damage or Don't give me damage more.

This one doesn't make sense. Can you say it differently or explain in more detail what you mean? In English we don't say "give (someone) damage".

Jawel2-) I have more pens than you or ~~I have pens more than you~~ or ~~I have pens which are more than your(s).~~ (Which ones are correct?)

Only the first one (which I have made bold) is correct.

Jawel3-) You must run more than normal.

I don't know in which context you wish to use this sentence, but I suspect you want this:

You should run more than usual.

Jawel4-) I have problems more serious than yours.

That's correct. The following are also correct. Personally, I would use the last one shown below.

I have more serious problems than you do.
My problems are more serious than yours.
