He has many sisters as brothers.
His parents are as rich as mine.
They did not buy as much meat as we.
Those exercises are as difficult as these.
I ate as much as you.
He spends as much time in the country as in the city.
We ate as soon as he came.
January has as many days as March.
He knows as much as I.

I am not asking personal opinions but perhaps someone with based knowledge in the area, or with refferences. In verbs such as

burn, dream, learn, spill, spoil, etc we can have to terminationso n the past participle. ed or t (learnt, dreamnt etc). the first is more American, the second more Brittish, but nothing states that either is wrong in neither dialect...so...who can help me?

I'm writing an essay for college about the history of the English language. I'm having a difficult time understanding the difference between the different accents in England before the Norman conquest and the different dialects in England after the Norman conquest. Could someone help explain the difference between accents and dialects? My dictionary only says that accents are different styles of pronunciation and dialects are different forms of pronunciation... and this still leaves me confused.

I work with this girl, and me and her talk a lot, and she seems cool.
But the only thing is I don't know how to pronounce her name so i can never call her by name. It seems weird to now finally ask about the pronounciation.

Her name is spelt 'Janja'
any ideas... cause i have no clue?
Yan-ya maybe?
