Dear mikemcgarry,
URL -> https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/gmat-gram ... -vs-fewer/
I was going through the brilliant article you wrote, and I cam across this sentence "Has your professor written as many books as mine?".
Since I am still learning the critical nuances of grammar, please clarify my following doubt:
Shouldn't the highlighted portion be "as many books as I have"?
When is it correct to say "as many books as mine"? Per my understanding we are comparing the number of books.
Awaiting your response.
Regards

Hi gmatexam439 ,
Has your professor written as many books as mine? -- The statement inquires whether your professor has written as many books as my professor has written.
Whereas in your sentence, "Has your professor written as many books as I have " - the speaker is comparing the number of books written by your professor to the number of books written by him.
