Wrong Use of Adjectives
The ~two last persons~ to come in would finish the work (nonstandard).
The *last two persons* to come in would finish the work (standard).
Note that it is impossible to have more than one last of anything.
This boy is ~more taller~ than his brothers (nonstandard).
This boy is *taller* than his brothers (standard).
The comparative form of tall is taller so it is ungrammatical to use “more taller”.
We are not ~much~ in our class (nonstandard).
We are not *many* in our class (standard).
Countable nouns do not attract “much”.
