Once twice thrice what comes next
There is Nothing That Comes After Once, Twice, Thrice
Daven Hiskey
Today I found out there is nothing that comes after the sequence “once, twice, thrice”.
Interestingly, even though these words are roughly equivalent, differing only in the numeric value they refer to, it is now considered poor English to use “thrice” instead of the equivalent “three times”. At the same time, it is considered poor English to use “one time” instead of “once”, which seems odd given “thrice” is now taboo. Just as odd, “twice” is currently considered equally as proper as “two times” in modern English.
So what we now have here is “once” being proper to use; twice being acceptable, but not necessarily preferred over its equivalent “two times”; “thrice” being a no-no; and then nothing beyond that. English!

We all know that when something happens “once,” it happens one time. When it happens “twice,” it happens two times. We can also say that “thrice” applies when something happens three times. This article will explore whether there are any words that come after.
What Comes After “Thrice”?
“Thrice” is the last official word related to multiple occurrences of the same thing. You often find that people use “four times” or “five times” (and so on) instead of giving them a specific word. However, informally, “quarce” or “quadrice” are both suitable for “four times.”
Perhaps this table will help you make a little more sense of it:
| Once | One time |
| Twice | Two times |
| Thrice | Three times |
| Quarce/quadrice | Four times |
| Quince | Five times |
| Sence | Six times |
| Septence | Seven times |
| Octence | Eight times |
| Novence | Nine times |
| Tonce | Ten times |
Of course, none of these words past “thrice” are officially correct. They are not grammatical words that follow language rules. Howeve
We’ll take this opportunity to look at a number of complications with the expression of numbers and frequency in English.
once, twice, thrice
The norm here is to say once (rather than one time) to say three times (rather than thrice) in current usage. Thrice is definitely old-fashioned, although you may still come across it in certain contexts:
They play football thrice weekly.
They play football three times a week and train every night.
I’ve visited her two times already this autumn and she’s visited me once.
Unemployment in the north of England is twice the national average.
Teachers say they would be twice as effective if they had no administrative tasks.

If something is done one time, we use “once" and subsequently twice and thrice but what is the word for something done four times? Next to third, there is fourth but next to thrice, there is no term in English like this for 4 times. Once not only means one time but also sometimes in the past, rarely /occasionally/ now and then (once in a blue moon, once in a while), finally (once and for all).suddenly (all at once), immediately (at once), and long time ago (once upon a time).

3.I warn you once and for all. Don't repeat this again. (As the first and last one)
