Alfonso will become famous soon enough
Question Tanto como / As much... as...

In Spanish you can say:
  • Me gusta tanto el pan como la leche.
  • Fuimos tanto a bailar como a cantar.
... meaning that you do both things, or that you don't exclude either of them. It's a way to emphasise:
  • Me gusta el pan y la leche.
  • Fuimos a bailar y a cantar.
Would you say the following sentences in English?
  • I like bread as well as milk.
  • We went to dance as well as to sing
And, the second part of the question is when do you use as much + (...) + as?

Thanks a lot in advance!
