Structural Comparisons

This are the combination of words that can be used to compare to things or more.

As ____ As
As “well”
as such ____ as.

The comparative as…as expresses that two items have equivalent aspects of quality (Adj) or manner (Adv). The second as is a preposition that "heads" the prepositional phrase which takes a noun or a clause as its complement. Typically, the clause is reduced to the subject or the auxiliary form of the verb.
