Skill 26: USE PARALLEL STRUCTURE WITH COMPARISONS
When you make a comparison, you point out the similarities or differences between two things, and those similarities or differences must be in parallel form. You can recognize a comparison showing how two things are different from the “-er... than” or the “more... than”.
• My school is farther than your school.
• To be rich is better than to be poor.
• What is written is more easily understood than what is spoken.
A comparison showing how two things are the same might contain “as... as” or expressions such “as the same as” or “similar to”.
• Their car is as big as a small house.
• Renting those apartments costs about the same as leasing them.
• The work that I did is similar to the work that you did.
