Day 145: Comparative phrases beginning with as need to end with as.
Many descriptive phrases come in two parts. For example, not only is paired with but also (or some derivative). One such 2-part phrase is the as . . . as phrase. Consider this sentence.
“I am as tall as the door.”This sentence compares “I” to “door.” The comparative phrase is “as tall as.” This is pretty easy. However, I see many errors when the comparative phrase includes more than one type of comparison. Consider this sentence.
“I am as tall or taller than the door.”This is an error. The first “as” needs to be paired with a second “as.” The correct version is
“I am as tall as or taller than the door.”“As tall as” is a single descriptive phrase and needs both instances of “as” to be complete.
