Today we want to tell you about a common grammar mistake especially for Arabic speakers. 

This mistake can hurt your IELTS score on the Speaking test or the Writing test. 

The phrases that we want to clarify are:

"too much" and "more"

If you want to say "I want to have a lot of children" then you can't use "more." It's not the same as "a lot."

The word "more" means a bigger amount than something else.

It is comparing two things or two amounts of something.

It's only for comparisons.

The second mistake we see on the IELTS Writing test and the IELTS Speaking test is "too much." 

It does not mean "a lot" and it does not mean "many."

The phrase "too much" is negative.

It is a bad meaning. 

Please stop making these mistakes!
