We use comparatives when we want to show the state of one object relative to one or more other objects. The rules for forming the usual comparisons are given above. The word <b>as</b> can be used in the construction: <i>You are as happy as a clam</i>. Here the first "as" is an adverb modifying "happy"; the second "as" is a conjunction introducing the clause "a clam (is)." <i>This book is different from that one</i> might be seen as a statement of comparison. Is that what you're thinking of? Please expland on your question. Karllyia,

This book is different from that one might be seen as a statement of comparison. Is that what you’re thinking of?

Please expland on your question.
