EFP: comparison - as adjective as
UPDATED: 17 JAN 2020
GRAMMAR
Comparison

As - Adj - As

​Used with adjectives of one or more syllables. ​


​PROBLEM:
​
  • Speakers don't use this grammar because they don't really understand it, which is normal. 
 
  • Using "adjectives" is easy to understand; however, when you use comparison with other parts of speech it can become difficult.  Don't worry.   Just start with "adjectives"  then move on to other comparisons.  Don't get bogged down in the "grammar". 

  • Check the Grammar Button below.  Goes to a good site that explains the comparison in "detail".
