Learn English – Is it possible to say “That building is getting more and more higher.”

comparative-constructionsword-usage

I'm not sure if it's correct to say "more and more higher" because "more and more expensive" is possible. But as you can see, in the second example the comparative form of the adjective expensive is "more expensive", so this expression indicates that something is more expensive each time. Can I use "more and more" with the same usage with short adjectives such as "high"?

Best Answer

Where the adjective is short enough to take the comparative in -er, as with high, the usual form of the expression is “higher and higher.”
