twice/ to times/ twofold/ double. What are the differences between them?
As I googled them more and more on the internet, I became more confused about the usage of these words.
When and how I can use them in different sentences?
It seems to me twice, two times and twofold are the same. How about double as a verb, adjective and adverb?
It seems I cannot deal with these words.
Please help me.
Thank you in advance.
