Are the sentences grammatically correct?


I'm glad as much as you do.

He killed people as many as you did.

I'd say "he killed as many people as you did".
 
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.

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.

I tend to have as many questions as you do.
 
I can't eat as much pizza as you can.

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.)

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