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!
