二、習(xí)慣用法

意思是"一......就......",引導(dǎo)一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。如:I'll call you as soon as I finish my homework. 我一完成我的作業(yè),就給你打電話。
2. as long as

★as...as用法:
as...as意為"和……一樣",表示同級(jí)的比較。使用時(shí)要注意第一個(gè)as為副詞,第二個(gè)as為連詞。其基本結(jié)構(gòu)為:as+ adj./ adv. +as。
例如:
(1)This film is as interesting as that one.這部電影和那部電影一樣有趣。
其否定式為not as/so +adj./ adv. +as。例如:
This dictionary is not as/so useful as you think.這本字典不如你想象的那樣有用。
若有修飾成分,如twice, three times, half, a quarter等,則須置于第一個(gè)as之前。
例如:
Your bag is twice as expensive as mine.你的袋子比我的貴一倍。
幾個(gè)關(guān)于as...as的常見(jiàn)句型:
(1)as...as possible
Please answer my question as soon as possible.請(qǐng)盡快回答我的問(wèn)題。
(2)as...as usual/before
She looks as pretty as before.她看起來(lái)和以前一樣漂亮。
(3)as long as... (引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句)

(5)as well as

★as...as的結(jié)構(gòu):
as + 形容詞或副詞原級(jí) + as
1)在否定句或疑問(wèn)句中可用so… as。
He cannot run so/as fast as you.
2)當(dāng)as… as 中間有名詞時(shí)采用以下格式。
as +形容詞+ a +單數(shù)名詞
as + many/much +名詞
This is as good an example as the other is.
I can carry as much paper as you can..
3)用表示倍數(shù)的詞或其他程度副詞做修飾語(yǔ)時(shí),放在as的前面。

Your room is the same size as mine.
4) 倍數(shù)+ as + adj. + as <=> 倍數(shù)+ then + of
