墨尔本文波雅思的IELTS5分班老师细心的为零基础的同学总结了课堂笔记，需要考5分的同学不要错过哦！部分语法基础没打好的6分同学也要看哦！

as…as… 和……一样（as+ adj./adv. +as +比较对象）
as…as…的否定形式是not so…as…/not as…as…
I am taller than you/you are not as tall as I.
less +原级 +than＝not as…as…=not so…as… 不如……那样……（比较状语从句）
once表示“以前，曾经”时只能与动词的过去式连用：
2、The temptation to steal is greater than ever before–especially in large shops.
The temptation to smoke is strong for him. 要表现现在与过去的比较, 有两种方式 :
① they are 与 they were 或 it is /it was等在用不同时态比

You were worse. （表示You are better.你过去更差劲, 表示现在比以前更好了）
I think 我想……I thought 我原以为……
② 用短语than ever before
People are not so honest as before. = People are not so honest as they once were.
