1) phrases consisting of the conjunction
than
and a noun, pronoun, or phrase
following an adjective or adverb in the comparative degree
(e.g. I have met many
people much smarter than you.)
;
2) sentences containing an adjective or adverb, which may be preceded by
the adverb
as
, and an additional part consisting of the conjunction
as
and some
other word (an adjective, a noun, or an adverb)
(e.g. Her features were as soft and
delicate as those of her mother).
In each case a finite verb might be added at the end (either be, or do, or
have, or can, etc.), and then the sentence would become a complex one, but as they
are, such sentences occupy an intermediate position between complex and simples
sentences.
