  • I'm Alice Bryant, and this star alot needs as much water as this J plant.

  • Sure, the Monday class has as many students as the Wednesday class.

  • I used the word many with the noun students because students are accountable.

  • That's right.

  • Let's see how to form these equal comparisons.

  • The structure goes like this subject, plus verb than as much or many plus noun as then a noun or noun phrase we also use as as comparisons to express inequality about amounts.

  • For example, if my plants did not need the same amount of water, I could say this star alot does not need as much water as this jade plants.

  • Okay, your turn again.
