Thanks, all that because of you:)
I'm from Saudi Arabia.. so mine.I have a lot of Saudi friends in the U.S, they are studying their.
Excuse me..
I have read a rule about comparetive..
Please can you check these sentences..
1. it is faster than you.
2 it isn't faster than you.. or I should write it like this.. it is not as fast as you..
I'm sorry I'm troubling you

I'm not as good as Wondergirl, but just want to point out one thing.

In this sentence;

I have a lot of Saudi friends in the U.S, they are studying their.

It's studying.
It's there, not their. :)

In this sentence;

All of you are wonderful:)
Thanks a lot

[Wondergirl]

All of you are wonderful:)
thanks a lot

Do you know the difference between their, there, and they're? (All are pronounced the same, but are used differently.)

Do you know the difference between its and it's?

[FARES]

You are not troubling me at all.

comparative = -er or more
superlative = -est or most

#1 is correct. Either one in #2 is correct. Using -er or more would be a true comparative.

Sometimes -er is good. Other times "more" is good.
I am more brave than he is. (Better than "I am braverer than he is.")
I am happier than she is. (Better than "I am more happy than she is.")

I am the bravest of all. I am the most brave of all.
I am the happiest of all. I am the most happy of all.

Be sure to use one period at the end of a sentence.

What I asked about is..
Must I use this rule(as.. adj.. as) when I negative comparative sentense ?
Ex..
You are not faster than me.. or.. you are not as fast as me?
Which one is correct

[FARES]

Do you know the difference between their, there, and they're? (All are pronounced the same, but are used differently.)

Do you know the difference between its and it's?

Yeah I know, it is just a misprint when I wrote it.. :)

[Alty]

I'm voting for the second one.

You are not as fast as me.

But I would tend to write it this way;

You aren't as fast as I am.

WG will correct me if I'm wrong, which I am more often than not. ;)

We're both learning. WG is the master when it comes to the English language. She's the one I go to whenever I need to edit something.

I hope she doesn't mind me popping in here.

[Wondergirl]

You aren't as fast as I am. She's the one I go to whenever I need to edit something.

English is flexible and allows a variety of ways to get one's point across.

You aren't as fast as me. (colloquial)
You aren't as fast as I am.
You aren't faster than I am.
I am faster than you are.
I am faster than you. ("are" is understood)
NOT GOOD: I am more fast than you are.

Alty, that reminds me about some editing I owe you.

[FARES]

WG and Alt.. you are very nice

Thank you soooooooo much I appreciate all what you have done for me..
See you

[Alty]

[Wondergirl]

what I asked about is..
must I use this rule(as..adj..as) when I negative comparative sentense ?
Ex..
you are not faster than me..or.. you are not as fast as me?
which one is correct

Both are correct. The first one uses the comparative -er. The second one also compares by using as ... as or than -- I am faster than you are. OR You are faster than I am.

[FARES]

I hope you come back.

You know where to find us if you need us. :)

And I will not find people nicer than you to discuss with them:)

I do not understand formal or informal. What do you mean? It is a natural and normal noun. It is not an idiom or slang.

[Wondergirl]

1.a case in point is...

In this particular situation, in this case

2.for one thing,they could... and for another..

There are two choices, the first one or the second one.

[FARES]
