Lesson

Same As (跟…一样)

1. Explain it simply

A 跟 B 一样 means 'A is the same as B'.

Add an adjective after 一样 to compare them: A 跟 B 一样 + adjective.

Keep the order: A + 跟 + B + 一样 (+ adjective).

The adjective goes after 一样, never before it.

Say A 跟 B 一样, then the adjective. Don't put the adjective before 一样.
