Pergunta sobre Inglês (EUA)
Can you explain the grammar used in this sentence, I’m confused. Is this a comparison of “as...as”? why as + clause in the first part but not the other?
As many people travelled by train as by car last year.

“As many” means the same amount.
“As” is a comparison.
You could write this sentence a different way and it has the same meaning.
“Last year, (it was) the same ‘number’ of people (that) traveled by train and by car.”
