Example: π This is a tricky question. βTrickishβ may sound like English, but tricky is the usual standard expression. π 2. β Nigeria comprises of 36 states. β Nigeria comprises 36 states. π Comprise already means βconsist of.β Therefore, adding βofβ after it is unnecessary in standard usage. Think of it as saying βconsist of of.β π One of is already enough! 3. β This is more better. β This is better. π Better is already the comparative form of good. So, adding βmoreβ is unnecessary. β more better β more worse β better β worse Please, let βmore betterβ rest. It has worked enough. ππ 4. β He is good in English. β He is good at English. π When talking about someone's ability or skill in a subject or activity, we normally use βgood at.β π She is good at Mathematics. π He is good at speaking English.
