Comparisons with as .... as

After a good night's sleep she woke feeling as fresh as a daisy.

It was a serious operation but he made a complete recovery and was soon as fit as a fiddle.

When she left school, she found she could do what she liked and be as free as air.

Suddenly the car leant to one side and when he got out, he saw there was no air in one tyre that was as flat as a pancake.

The baby sitter had no problem with the children because they were as good as gold the whole evening.

He wanted to make sure that his car looked good and so he made sure it was as clean as a whistle before he sold it.

The one thing you could be sure of was that he would not behave in a normal way he was in fact as daft as a brush.

We really didn't expect to see him at all that night but then suddenly he appeared as large as life.

You could always rely on her because in any situation she stayed as steady as a rock.

As he was as strong as a horse, he was able to lift the carriage up and let the trapped man out.
