Meaning of as much of sth Sun Aug 20, 2006 12:49 pm  Meaning of as much of sth
 

Dear teachers,

Please read:

The state of no longer having sth as much of sth.

What is the meaning of as much of sth?
Why there aren't 2 words "as" in this sentence, as in:

The state of no longer having sth as much of sth as...

What I don't understand, that is,normally, in comparaison, there are 2 "as" (as...as). Why there is only one "as" in this sentence?

thanks

Hi Quoc

I'd say the second as is understood:

I no longer have as much of something (as I had before).

As much as I would like to help you, I can't see the problem because I can see as writteh twice in your sentence!
