Grammar
More and Less
1. This book is better than that one.
2. That book is less better/less good than this one. Is the second sentence grammaticaly correct? If not, why? The second sentence is written using less in contrast with the first sentence but both of them should have the same meaning.

We don't use "more" or "less" with comparative adjectives. We use these words to make comparatives of adjectives that do not make their comparatives by adding -er. You can say: She is more beautiful than her sister.
