Learn English – say “not easy that much”

adverbs

I would like to ask you if the expression "It is not easy that much." is correct.

I know, instead, I can use "It is not that easy.".
But out of curiosity, I wonder if that one is also able to be used.(<-Also, is this a correct sentence? Sorry for asking one more question.)

Thank you. 🙂

Question 1/

It is not easy that much is not a sentence that would ever be used, although I think grammatically it is actually OK, as it follows the same structure as say:

It is not easy at all - fine

It is not easy in the slightest - fine

It is not easy that much - sounds weird. As you said, "It is not that easy" would be said instead.

Question 2/

I wonder if that one is also able to be used

Again, grammatically there is no issue, but this sentence sounds a bit "clunky"(for want of a better word). Simply replacing "is also able" with "can" makes it much better:

"I wonder if that one can also be used"
