AS… AS… and NOT AS… AS…

If two people or things are equal we use as… as… When they are not equal, we say not as… as…

• This band is as loud as the last band! (Both bands are equally loud).
• London is not as big as Cairo. (Cairo is bigger). 

We have also studied how to use TOO and ENOUGH.

We can use enough before nouns or after adjectives. It shows that something is as much as we need.

• There is enough cake for everyone.
• It smells good enough to eat!

We can use too before adjectives. It shows that something is more than enough.

• That hat is too big for you!

UNIT 1 (English 5th grade)

The main grammar in this unit is the PRESENT PERFECT. 

PRESENT PERFECT + EVER / NEVER

Use the present perfect + ever to ask questions about experiences in someone's life.

   Have you ever taken dance classes?
   Yes, I have. I took 6 weeks of lessons before my wedding!

   Has your brother ever been to India?
   No, he hasn't. 

Don't use ever in the answer. Only use it in questions. 
If you want, you can use before in the answer.
  
 Yes, I've ever taken dance classes.
 Yes, I've taken dance classes before. 


Use the present perfect + never to talk about things you have not done at any time in your life.

  I've never studied Italian. I studied English and Spanish in school, but Italian wasn't available.

  He's never heard of Michael Jackson. I can't believe he doesn't know the King of Pop!

  They've never been surfing. They're afraid of the ocean. 

  She's never told a lie. I know we can trust her. 

§

PRESENT PERFECT + FOR /SINCE

We often use for and since with perfect tenses:

• We use for to talk about a period of time: five minutes, two weeks, six years
• We use since to talk about a point in past time: 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday

FOR A period of time	SINCE A point in past time
- - - - - - - - - - - -	- • - - - - - - - - - -
20 minutes	6.15pm
three days	Monday
6 months	January
4 years	1994
2 centuries	1800
a long time	I left school
ever	the beginning of time

Look at these example sentences using for and since with the Present Perfect tense:

• I have been here for twenty minutes.
• I have been here since 9 o'clock.
• John hasn't called for six months.
