Grammar

As...as..

Hallo dear teachers

I have some concerns with this. How is as..as used in negative sentences?

Is it used like this? Not so ... as or not as..as?

I have read in a grammar book that when we have a negative sentence then the first option is right (not so..as). E.g. She is not so clever as her sister.


Is it correct?

Thanks beforehand

Regards

Nata...

Yes you can use both. I would say that "not as...as" is the preferred version, but both are fine.
