Learn English – “I have 2 twins” or “I have twins”

numbersword-usage

In dictionary,

twin: one of two children born at the same time to the same mother

Ex: She's expecting twins.

The twins are now eight months old.

Ok, let say a woman has twins at her first birth (ie, there are only 2 children)

So, we say "I have 2 twins" or "I have twins"?

And , what if she has twins at her second birth.

Do we say "2 pairs of twins"?

Best Answer

"I have two twins/a set(pair) of twins" isn't ungrammatical, but it's more common and idiomatic to say "I have twins".

As for two sets of twins or two pairs of twins, both are correct. The former is a little more common.
