French I

Comparisons of equality show that two things are the same. The following formula works for adjectives and adverbs: aussi + adjective or adverb + que (as … as)

• Elle est aussi jolie que sa sœur. (She is as pretty as her sister.)

• Il travaille aussi dur que toi. (He works as hard as you.)

Si usually replaces aussi in the negative: Elles ne sont pas si malheureuse que ça. (They aren't all that unhappy.)

Use these formulas when the second element is a noun:

• autant de + noun + que + noun/pronoun (as much/many … as)

• Il a autant d'argent que moi. (He has as much money as I.)

• autant que + noun/pronoun (as much/many … as)

• Elle mange autant que son amie. (She eats as much as her friend.)
