How can you use "more" as well as another comparative degree?

It would be either "more sweet" or "sweeter" (if it is a word).
Anand said:   9 years ago
It is More sweet.

More can't use with sweeter. Both are comparative and should not use with each other.
Rashu said:   9 years ago
Two comparative words cannot be used together. So it can be either more sweet or sweeter but here we are comparing two things so sweeter is the best suitable option.
Srinivasan said:   8 years ago
More sweet, or sweeter.

'More' is already a comparative term, 'sweet' is the quality, and 'sweeter' is a comparative term of the quality sweet.

Hence, 'more sweeter' is wrong grammar.
