Thay vì dùng cấu trúc ss bằng , có thể dùng các cấu trúc tương đương:
S + V + the same + N + as + O’
S + V + alike
S + V + like/unlike + O’
S + V + similar to + O’
S + V + diferent from + O’

Các đối tượng so sánh phải tương thích với nhau. S’, V’ thường dùng phép thế để tránh lặp
lại:
Adj sở hữu + N  đại từ sở hữu (mine/ yours/ours…)
The + N/Ns  the one/ones
N/Ns + cụm giới từ  that/those + cụm giới từ
Vđb  V’đb
Vthường  V’:do/does/did

2. Comparative(So sánh hơn)

Short Adj: S + V + far/much/too adj- er + than + S’ + V’/Obj
Long Adj: S + V + a little/a lot more + adj + than + S’ + V’/Obj
