It explains that "as...as" is used in affirmative sentences to indicate equality, while "as...as" or "so...as" can be used in negative sentences to show inequality. It also explains that shorter adjectives take "-er" and longer adjectives take "more" when making comparisons. Some adjectives like "good" and "bad" have irregular comparative forms. Several examples are provided to illustrate the rules.
