After the second as, you can use a noun by itself or a noun with a verb. The meaning does not change. When using a do-verb, it is common to replace the original verb with do.
2番目の as の後には、名詞だけ置くことも、＜名詞＋動詞＞を置くこともできます。どちらを使っても文の意味は変わりません。一般動詞を置く場合、元の動詞を do に置き換えることが多いです。
I’m as funny as my brother.
私は兄と同じくらい面白いです。
I’m as funny as my brother is.
私は兄と同じくらい面白いです。
I’m as funny as my brothers.
私は兄弟たちと同じくらい面白いです。
I’m as funny as my brothers are.
私は兄弟たちと同じくらい面白いです。
My dad cooks as much as my mom.
私の父は母と同じくらい料理をします。

You can also use a pronoun after the second as. Both the subject and object forms of pronouns are grammatically acceptable.* There is no difference in their meaning, but the subject form tends to sound more formal.
2番目の as の後には代名詞を使うこともできます。文法的には代名詞の主格、目的格どちらも使用可能です*。意味に違いはありませんが、主格のほうがより丁寧です。
*some native speakers may feel that subject forms are more correct
*英語のネイティブスピーカーは主格のほうが正しいと考える人もいますSUBJECT FORM | OBJECT FORM |
|---|---|

I |
me |
|
you |

|
he |

|

|

Be careful: You cannot use the object form of a pronoun with a verb after the second as. Drop the verb or use the subject form instead.
