Double v/s Twice

by cute_ujjwal » Sat Aug 08, 2009 4:46 am
Double: can be used with Noun/ Verb/ Adjective/ Adverb
e.g.:
Noun: 36 is the double of 18
Verb: The population doubled within 50 years.
Adjective: An egg with a double yolk
Adverb: His eyes were double bright.

Twice is always adverb. Usage depends upon the structure of the sentence. In
GMAT Twice as...much....as, twice as many....as are frequently tested.
