Grammar
much larger
He is much larger than me or he is larger than me?
Sometimes I noticed some people use "much" before a comparative degree which is already in comparative state. Is it wrong? Or they do it to emphasize?

I think they do it to emphasize so they can tell you that it is very large not just averagely large

"Much larger" is correct. "Much" is an adverb modifying the comparative adjective "larger."
Example:
"A" is a size 32.
"B" is a size 36.
"C" is a size 46.
"B" is larger than "A."
"C" is much larger than "A."
Example:
"A" is a size 32.
"B" is a size 36.
"C" is a size 46.
"B" is larger than "A."
"C" is much larger than "A."
