“Have twice the” question
This is how I say it:
“You have twice the experience I have”
to me it feels right, but searching examples on the net, I don’t quite find a similar example. I could rephrase. I think these are safe:
“You have twice more experience than I have” or “You have twice as much experience as I do”
but back to my original way of saying it, is there something missing before “I have”?
“You have twice the experience that I have”
It sounds better without the “that” to me.
Solution 1:
You're saying it fine.
Twice is one of several adverbs that can be followed by a noun phrase describing a quantity to further modify that quantity. (With rephrasing, you could use numbers too!) The Oxford English Dictionary explains this form in 2a. for "twice, adv. (n. and adj.)":
a. with a numeral, or a noun or noun phrase expressing quantity: Two times as much as; double of.
Compare several alternative insertions where the syntax is otherwise unchanged:
You have double the experience I have.
You have half the experience I have.
You have ten times the experience I have.
And consider similar insertions for the object following it.
You have twice the ketchup I have.
You have twice the money I have.
You have twice the number of fans I have.
Solution 2:
Twice means 2x. Twice more means thrice or 3x.
To say that someone has two times the experience you do, as @Jim commented, it's most common to use:
You have twice the experience I have.
There are other ways, but people often misunderstand percentages, so the simplest method is recommended.
