多 + verb + amount + noun.
Before the verb
- "Practise more" is more多to practice练习, not to practice练习more多: to practice练习more多(completed / change)了 suggests "practised a lot".
- The extra amount goes after the verb: more多to live住several days几天 — "stay a few more days".
Which says “Stay a few more days”?

多 goes before the verb, then the amount: 多住几天 “stay a few more days”. Putting 多 after the verb (住多几天) is a common error from English word order.

- many很多 + noun = a lot of: read看(completed / change)了many很多books书 — "read a lot of books".

Your PE teacher gives the class some advice before the fitness test. Close the examples. Say a Mandarin response, then write it in Chinese. Explain briefly in English what the lesson’s pattern adds. Compare with the model, then change one detail and try again.
This is supported productive practice. Compare meaning and structure; your answer need not copy the model. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken response to comment on pronunciation.
