How it's used
Use 更多 when you want to express an additional amount or degree of something that is already present. It functions similarly to the English word more but often carries a sense of wanting to extend or deepen an existing situation. It is frequently paired with 仲 to emphasize the desire for an additional quantity.

Common mistake
Learners often use 更多 as a direct translation for more in every context, but it cannot be used to compare two things directly. For comparative structures like more than, use 仲多過 instead.
