Worksheet Instructions:

BE CAREFUL! uncountable nouns (tea, coffee, air, rubbish) use MUCH countable nouns (cups, people, cars, apples) use MANY - If we want to say that something is two times bigger/longer/larger in quantity etc, we use "TWICE AS + MUCH/MANY": I drank twice as much tea. I drank twice as many cups of tea. - If we can compare something with something else, we use "TWICE AS MUCH/MANY ... AS": There are twice as many cars in London as there are in Berlin. London produces twice as much air pollution as Berlin. - The opposite of "TWICE AS + MUCH/MANY" is "HALF AS + MUCH/MANY": There are half as many patients as there were a year ago. My salary is half as much again as his. - MUCH/MANY can be replaced with adjectives like long, big, short, wide, beautiful, crowded, etc. London is twice as crowded as Berlin. It would take me half as long to get there.
