Make half as much as he makes?
Hi,
I have already posting this once, but for some reason I can't access the thread. So I'm posting again.
Is the word "what" in the following sentence out of place?
I earn half as much as what he earns.
Thank you!

Cool BreezeWhat is incorrect in your sentence. Say: I earn half as much as he does. CBI noticed you used "does" instead of "earns". Is there a particular reason for that, or is it just a matter of style?
