Twice as...as / half as...as

Alex+1. This car is twice as cheaper as that car.>> Incorrect. Use "cheap," not "cheaper."
2. This car is half as expensive as that car. >> OK.

Usually I would say "This car costs twice as much as that one." or "This car is half the price of that one." Cheap has the connotation of being poorly constucted, not just less exp

Thank you very much for your answer.

In all your examples “half” is used with nouns.

"This car is half the price of that one."
"Our house is half the size of theirs."

Can give me some good examples where “half” would be use with adjectives?

And what can you say about these sentences?

1. I have half as much money as him.
2. I have twice as lit

Half is used with nouns which are measurable quantities that can be divided equally. Here is an example of half + adjective.

The optimist sees a glass as half full. The pessimist sees the same glass as half empty.

1. I have half as much money as he has him.

2. I have twice as little money as him. >> This does not make sense. say instead: I

I’d be very obliged to you if you could explain me one more thing.

Q #1: Can I use “twice” if I want to say than one thing is smaller (shorter, lower, worse …) by half than the other one? Or I must use only “half”?

1. This house is twice as lower as that house.
2. This road is twice as short as that road.

If these sentences are incorrect could you correct them?

2. I have twice as little money as him. >> This does not make sense. say instead: I have twice as much money as he has.

Probably you wanted to say: “I have half as much money as he has.” ?

No, the problem was in the original sentence which was not understandable. "twice" always means doubling in size, an increased quantity.
"Half" always means 50 percent, a decreased amount.

"Twice as little" makes no sense - you have to say "twice as much" or "half as muc

Alex+1. This house is twice as lower as that house.
2. This road is twice as short as that road.

1) You cannot use the comparative form in the construction "twice as, half as". You can say:
This house is lower than that house.
This house is half the height of that house.
This house is 50 percent lower than that house.

2) "Twice

AlpheccaStars, thank you for your answer.

As I understood structures with “twice” always mean “more”. Can I used “three (four, five..) times” in phrases that mean “less / fewer”

Example #1:
Road A is 300 km and road B is 100 km, therefore:

Road A is three times longer than road B. = Road A is thee times as long as road B.

Can I say: “Road B is three times

1. Am i understand correctly: twice is-> increase, half...- decrease? Or no?
2. If i want to say that this house is more cheap (50% not 45%) than that . i need to point out Low price! i mean this h.'' More cheap'' not 'more castly'! What should i use ? this house twice as cheap as that one
