Are these sentences correct:
1-He was as much exhausted as relieved. (Instead of: He was as exhausted as he was rlieved) 2-He was generous as he was wise. (Instead of: He was as generous as he was wise.) This message has been edited. Last edited by: navi, |

1. The sentence in red is fine as a replacement for the one in green.
2. I don't think this sentence in red works without the use of a preliminary as, Navi. At some level of conversational language it will do, but I can't say I'm in favor of using it without that as. Richard |
