as tall asaussi grand que
I'm as tall as my brother.Je suis aussi grand que mon frère.
not as fast aspas aussi rapide que
A tortoise is not as fast as a hare.Une tortue n'est pas aussi rapide qu'un lièvre.
as quickly as possibleaussi vite que possible
as white as snowblanc comme neige

Pour dire que deux choses sont pareilles, on utilise as + adjectif + as : Tom is as tall as Leo. (Tom est aussi grand que Leo.) Pour dire qu'elles ne sont pas pareilles, on ajoute not : A cat is not as big as a dog. L'adjectif ne change pas : pas de -er ! On trouve aussi cette forme dans des expressions : as white as snow, as busy as a bee, as quiet as a mouse.

Mise en situation : qui est le plus grand ?

Max : Look! I'm as tall as Dad now!
Regarde ! Je suis aussi grand que papa maintenant !
Dad : Really? Let's check... Yes, you are!
Vraiment ? Vérifions... Oui, c'est vrai !
Max : But I'm not as strong as you.
Mais je ne suis pas aussi fort que toi.
Dad : Not yet! And you're not as old as me.
Pas encore ! Et tu n'es pas aussi vieux que moi.
Max : And Lily is as quiet as a mouse!
Et Lily est sage comme une image !
Dad : Ha! Not today. Today she's as noisy as a parrot!
Ha ! Pas aujourd'hui. Aujourd'hui, elle est aussi bruyante qu'un perroquet !

À retenir

  • as + adjectif + as = aussi... que : as tall as, as big as.
  • not as + adjectif + as = pas aussi... que : not as fast as.
