Comparative: Its price is twice as much as your competitor is. #1 (permalink) Sat Feb 28, 2009 21:32 pm   Comparative: Its price is twice as much as your competitor is.
 

Can I also say:

Its price is twice as much as your competitor is.

Or must I just say:

Its price is twice more expensive than its competitor.

?

Thanks in advance.
