Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "be better recovered" aims to convey an improved state following a period of recovery. However, Ludwig AI identifies this phrasing as non-standard and awkward. While the individual words are common, their combination is infrequent and can sound unnatural to native English speakers. As such, it's advisable to use alternative expressions like "recover more effectively", "have a more complete recovery", or "show improved recovery" to express the intended meaning more clearly and effectively. Although found in some scientific and news contexts, these alternatives offer greater clarity and grammatical correctness.
