More faster?
Hi. Please help. I am sure that the word "faster" is the comparative, and I also am sure we will see it being used in a sentence like this.
He runs faster than John Doe.
Could we modify the adverb "faster" with the word "more" to make sort of a comparation to himself?
Now he tries to run more faster than before.

No, sorry, you cannot. You cannot add 'more' to any '-er' comparative word.

-er comparatives already means more. You wouldn't say more, more fast would you?
He tries to run even faster. - This means he was running fast before but now he's running quicker.
