I am as old as you. 

My house is as big as your house. 

My car is as fast as your car. 

I speak English as well as you.

I cook as nicely as my mother.

My car uses as much gas as your car. 

I ate a sandwich.  You ate a sandwich.  You ate as much as me.

I am not as tall as Ali.  Ali isn’t as short as me. 

I am not as young as Faisal. 

Nobody is as small as Marwan. 

I have three brothers.  You have three brothers.  I have as many brothers as you. 

I have two cars.  You have four cars.  I don’t have as many cars as you (do). 

My house is worth 1.5 million.  And your house is worth 1.5 million.  My house is worth as much as yours.  My house is as expensive as yours.
