Complete the soccer coach's evaluation of the team's new star player. Match each blank with the appropriate word.

He kicks the ball as powerfully as our captain, and he is just as strong as the defenders, but he doesn't react quite as quickly as the goalie.

He kicks the ball as powerfully as our captain, and he is just as strong as the defenders, but he doesn't react quite as quickly as the goalie.

Action verbs like "kicks" and "react" need adverbs (powerfully, quickly) to describe how the action is done.

The "to be" verb "is" needs an adjective (strong) to describe the player himself.

Always use the base form of the word inside an "as...as" comparison!
