Sweet Home Alabama Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The Bees were just as sure that the treasure was theirs. I'm thinking that "just as" is used as an adverb. (How sure? Just as sure.) Would I treat the two words as one adverb? I cannot see separating the words to parse them individually. Any grammar people reading the boards today?

lanabug Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think you're right, it's used as an adverb, but I would treat them separately. How sure were they? As sure (as someone else). To what extent were they as sure? Just as sure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'd say "just as" is a synonym for "equally" and would treat them together as one adverb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
