Grade 6 — Grammar: as … as ⚖️
Topic: Equal comparison — saying that two things are the same.
📚 Reference — How to use as … as
Pattern: X is as [adjective] as Y
Meaning: X and Y are equal in that quality.
Examples:
· My brother is as tall as my father. (They are the same height.)
· This summer is as hot as last summer.
Negative pattern: X is not as [adjective] as Y
Meaning: X has less of that quality than Y.
Examples:
· My phone is not as new as your phone. (My phone is older.)
· Walking is not as fast as running.
⚠️ Important rules:
- Always use the base form of the adjective between the two “as” words. Never use “taller”, “more tall” etc.
- Don’t forget the second “as”. “He is as tall as me” — not just “He is as tall me”.
- For the negative form, the word “not” comes before the first “as”.
