1.A is three (four/ five….) times bigger (more/ longer/ higher….) than B. A 比B大（多/高/长…）三（四/五…）倍。
例如：
The new bridge is three times longer then the old one. 新桥比旧桥长三倍。

2.A is three ( four/ five…) times as big (much/ many/ long/ high…) as B. A比B大（多/长/高。。。）两倍或者是A是B的三（四/五……）倍大（多/长/高……）
例如：

11.语法——定语从句
关系代词who, whom, that 和which引导的定语从句。
在句子中修饰名词或代词的从句为定语从句。定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词，定语从句一般修饰跟在先行词的后面。如果先行词指人，关系代词可用who, whom, that.如果先行词指物，关系代词可用which或是that。关系代词who, whom, that 和which既起连接作用，又在定语从句中充当一定成分（在定语从句中作主语或是宾语）。关系代词在从句中作宾语时常常可以省略，但是作主语时不能省略。Whom 在从句中作宾语时用，但是在口语或非正式文体中，常用who来代替whom。
例如：
A plane is a machine which/ that can fly.飞机是会飞行的机器。
The book (which/ that ) you want is on my desk.你要的那本书在我的书桌上。
Anybody who/ that breaks the rules is punished.任何违反规定的人都要受到惩罚。
The boy who/ that likes skating will be here.喜欢滑冰的那个男孩子将会来这里。
The girl (who/ whom/that) you met in the street is John’s sister.你在大街上遇到的那个女孩是约翰的妹妹。
Is this the lady (whom) you spoke of? 这个是你谈到的那位女士吗？
