  • To say that things are equal /similar /the same:
    • We use the pattern... as + adjective (short / long / irregular) + as ...
  • To say that things aren’t equal/they are different:
    • We use the pattern...not as + adjective (short / long / irregular) + as 
  • We keep the same form if the adjective is short, long, or irregular. 

Comparing similarities / equalities with all forms:

1. Affirmative form:

  • subject + to be + as + adjective + as + compared

​             He            is       as     smart         as      his brother

2. Interrogative form:

  • to be + subject + as + adjective + as + compared?

            Is         he            as       smart       as    his brother?    

3. Negative form:

  • subject + to be + not + as + adjective + as + compared

​          He              is        not     as          tall        as     his brother
