Grammar
Comparing what with what
Hello!
Would you help me to understand English grammer ?
I don't do as much walking as I used to.>>correct
I don't do walking as much as I used to.>>wrong
Then how about these?
1. I don't do walking as much as I do fishing.
2. I don't do as much walking as fishing.
3. I don't do walking as often as I used to.
According to my feeling, all (1,2,3) are correct,
but I would like to have a judgement of native speakers.
Warmest regards,
blissfarm
