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!
