are pack animals, which means you should spend lots of time with your
dog so that it doesn't get lonely. Cats are loners, meaning that they can
spend a lot of time alone without getting lonely. Another big difference
is the sounds that they make. A dog goes woof, bark, growl, or howl. A cat
meows.
Another very obvious difference between dogs and cats is that dogs
are usually bigger than cats. Cats are usually scared of dogs, and dogs
usually chase the cats. Dogs are also somewhat
smarter than cats in the area of verbal command.
For example, you can call your dog by name and
usually it will come to you, unlike a cat. Also, you
can train dogs to do more than one trick when
commanded. Some of the most commonly seen
tricks in dogs are roll over, fetch, shake hands, sit

When two people, places or things share the same characteristics
none, we use a specific form of adjectives: as... aS.
We use as...as for affirmative statements when two nouns have so
characteristic in common.
ast Positive adjective as+ Noun or pronoln
Kenny + is +as + tall + as + Wendy.
Paula + is + as + intelligent + as + Diego.
Now when we use as....as for negative statements, when two people
places or things don't share one same characteristic, not is places
Kenny* is + not + as + lazy + as + Zaira.
She + is + not + as + active + as + he is.
There are also some omissions in formal and informal
English. Let's see what these omissions are and how ‘they
are used.
When we use the verb “be” after the noun of the second
compared.
Ciria is as careful as her father (is).
Hector is as hardworking as his sons (are).
When in informal English the second compared is
represented by a personal pronoun we use the verb be
after the pronoun.
Uriel is as lazy as she (is),
Fany and Alexis are as tolerant as they (are).Fernanda Quintana Rodriguez , Grupo 206 , N.L.o. 27
