Multus agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies (multus, multa, multum; multī, multae, multa). The neuter singular multum is often used adverbially to mean 'much' (e.g., multum legere = to read a lot). For comparative 'more', Latin typically uses plūs rather than a comparative form of multus.
