As [...] as.

Hello.

My teacher has told me that we could not create a comparison using just one "as".

I mean : My car is as fast as yours.


However I have heard people saying something like this - I'm fast as a tiger. (just with one "as")

Can you tell me which way is the proper way of using "As"?

Thank you in advance.

The full pattern is "as ~ as ~". The omission of the first "as" is an abbreviated form that you might sometimes encounter.
