I'm glad as much as you do.:cross:

I'm as glad as you are.

It's not easy to fit 'much' into that sentence.

Perhaps I'm glad – as much as you are, but it's not very natural.

I'm as glad as you are.

Can you give example sentences that include as much as and as many as?

Can you give example sentences that include as much as and as many as?

As much as I'd like to, I can't think of as many examples as I'd like to.

 

[GoesStation]

How about "I'm glad just as much as you are"?

No. You could say I'm just as glad as you are.

 

[ringu20]

As much as I'd like to, I can't think of as many examples as I'd like to.

Can you give example that includes 'as many as' as well?

I don't drink as many glasses of water a day as I'm supposed to.

 

[Tarheel]

That's because I can't possibly drink that much water.

------
I tend to have as many questions as you do.

 

[Tarheel]

I can't eat as much pizza as you can.

 

[Tarheel]

But you can't eat as much ice cream as I can.

 

[Tarheel]

I have had as many as three beers in one evening. (Only once.)

 

[GoesStation]

I don't drink as many glasses of water a day as I'm supposed to.

That can be re-phrased as When it comes to glasses of water, I don't drink as many as I'm supposed to every day. Tarheel's version is more natural, but they mean the same thing regardless of where the object phrase. (I hope I got that grammar term right. I make as many grammar terminology mistakes as I can. I'm not proud of it.)

 

[Glizdka]

I make as many grammar terminology mistakes as I can. I'm not proud of it.)

Using the proper terminology is as much of a concern for me as it is for you.

 

[ringu20]

As much as I'd like to, I can't think of as many examples as I'd like to.

Does "as much as" mean "even though" here?

ringu, as I wrote in your 'Boston' thread earlier,

"Clicking on your symbol shows that after 49 posts you have not given a single Thank or Like!

They're right there in the bottom left-hand corner of every post.

Looking back over your last few threads I also notice that you have failed to include a word of thanks anywhere – even when asking follow-up questions.

Please click on Thank or Like as soon as you read this message to acknowledge that you have read and understood it".

 

[Tarheel]

Does "as much as" mean "even though" here?

Pretty close.

The point was, I think, getting both phrases into one sentence. Clever!

You could say:

Although I would really like to ....
