A)    He is not as tall as he looks.

B)     The mall is not as crowded as usual.

C)     They are not as fun as their father.

Note: gli aggettivi non cambiano con questa formula 

2)      subject + adjective + than + subject:

A)    Our classroom is bigger than your classroom.

B)     English is not easier than German.

C)     She is shorter than her sister.

Note: con questa formula gli aggettivi cambiano aggiungendo er

1-syllable adjectives + er If the word ends with Consonant + vowel + consonant Then the last consonant is doubled	2-syllable adjectives ending in y: remove y + ier	Other 2-syllable adjectives + more (do not change the adjective)	3 or more syllables: + more + adjective
