grammaticality - A problem with "As... As"


I have a problem with using the saying" as...as''. I have read an example in the dictionary " You're as tall as your father", another is that "He doesn't earn as much as me ", and it has another say " He doesn't earn as much as I do". I wonder if the first example can be said" You're as tall as your father is"?



Answer



Yes, you can.
The object pronoun is usually used.



  • You are as tall as him.

  • You are tall as he is.

  • You are tall as he.
