Much vs More
I am quite confused about the usage of Much and More.
When can we use only much or more? How can it be decided to use much or more in a sentence?
I have some examples:
1. I am more demoralized vs I am much demoralized.
2. I am more happy vs I am much happy.
3. I am more lucky vs I am much lucky.
4. The tea I drank today in the morning was much better taste vs The tea I drank today in the morning was more better taste.
5. This is a still more complicated explanation vs This is a still much complicated explanation.
6. I need more time vs I need much time
Please help me out..
Can you please elucidate the difference?
Thanks

More is one of the two ways to create comparisons and is used with long adjectives: John is more talented than Henry. With short adjectives the suffix -er is used instead: John is taller than Henry. Only one form is correct, so you can't use both with the same word, like more better .
