Difference between closer and closely [closed]
Solution 1:
Grammarly is mistaken, the best solution is

I think that the app was fixing the nonstandard "more closer" which is considered ungrammatical by many native speakers and grammarians.
It is redundant to modify an adjective that is already in the comparative form with "more", e.g "more closer", "more sooner" and (especially) "more more important" which careful speakers will avoid. Instead, you can use "much" or "far" to modify comparative forms, e.g.
- It brought us much closer together
- The promotion arrived far sooner than I anticipated.
The determiner "more" can modify an adverb, e.g. “more closely”, “more quickly”, and “more importantly”. Thus the following is also acceptable:
- It brought us more closely together
