Comparison Modifiers with as… as… We often use the modifiers almost, just, and nearly, and half, twice, three times, etc. with as…as… My sister’s almost as tall as me/almost as tall as I am. She’s just as bossy now as when she was a child. Their house is nearly as big as ours. His latest film isn’t half as good as his other ones. Our new apartment is twice as big as our old one. The holiday cost three times as much as I’d expected. You can use so instead of the first as in negative sentences, e.g. She’s not nearly so mean as people say. After as… as… we can either use a subject pronoun + auxiliary verb, or an object pronoun, e.g. She runs as fast as I do OR She runs as fast as me.
