Learn English – the difference between “twice as much” and “twice as much as”

comparative-constructions

I saw two examples describing this kind of usage

  1. Americans are sending more than twice as much trash to landfills than the government estimates

  2. My worth is twice as much as he has. (This is my own example, I cannot find the OP, so I just made another one similar to OP's)

Best Answer

  • “twice as much” a change to a single thing, e.g. trash
  • “twice as much as” a comparison to something else. e.g. my worth to his worth

In the second sentence I would have written something like, "My worth is twice as much as his."
