He has a lot of time but I don't have as much.
He has many books, but I have just as many.
He was angry, but she was just as angry.

They mean:
#1 Nylon is as strong as leather.
#2 I have as many books as he does.
#3 She was as angry as he was.

The use of "just" adds emphasis.

I got it.
It is another way of comparing two thing together.
Instaed of saying 'he is as angry as she is' we say ' he is angry, and she is as angry.'

Instead of saying 'he is as angry as she is' we say ' he is angry, and she is as angry.'

Not exactly. You have to include just: "she is just as angry."

Not exactly.

So, what is the use of this kind of grammar, and when do we can use it?
