Best practice

Replace "thus more" with grammatically correct alternatives such as "therefore even more", "consequently even more", or "as a result, even more" for clarity and correctness.

Common error

Avoid combining "thus" directly with "more" as it creates a grammatically unsound construction. Always insert an adverb such as "even" or rephrase to use a clearer causal connector like "therefore" or "consequently".

Linguistic Context

The phrase "thus more" attempts to function as an adverbial phrase indicating a consequence that leads to an increase or greater extent of something. However, according to Ludwig AI, it is grammatically incorrect and requires modification to be used effectively. For example the data indicates a need for corrections like "Thus, more family members turn to institutional alternatives".

FAQs

What's the best alternative to "thus more"?

Consider using alternatives such as "therefore even more", "consequently even more", or "as a result, even more", depending on the context. These alternatives provide more clarity and grammatical correctness.

How can I use "thus" correctly to indicate an increase?

Instead of saying "thus more", use "thus even more" or rephrase the sentence to use "therefore", "consequently", or "as a result". For instance, "The situation is serious; thus, even more caution is needed."

Is "thus more" grammatically correct?

No, "thus more" is not grammatically correct. The phrase lacks a necessary adverb to connect "thus" and "more" effectively. Use alternatives such as "thus even more" or rephrase the sentence for clarity.

What is the difference between "thus more" and "thereby more"?

"Thus more" is not grammatically correct. Consider using "thereby even more" which means 'as a result of that' and is grammatically better, but using "thereby" alone can often suffice to properly join 2 concepts.
