Much Recent or More Recent ?
Dear teachers,
In the following sentence, should it be "much recent" or "more recent"? (I might be wrong, but is it "more recent" because "book" is a countable noun?)
"The book that I recommended is more recent compared to the one that you suggested."
Thank you for your help.
