There is a contrast in first sentence compared to 2nd one because when we like someone we will excuse him.

Why is as much as wrong?

Why as much as is wrong?

As much as is used to compare 2 things but much as refers to even though. Hope you all are clear.

What is the difference between much as and as much as?

Abhishek Kumar said:   1 decade ago
Can't clear my confusion why As is not used.

I request Thakur Kumar Singh to please explain some more why only 'Much as' is used.

Pradip said:   1 decade ago
I agree with Chintu

Upendra jyani said:   1 decade ago
Please explain it ?? Why 'as' is not used before 'much'.

Sindhuri said:   1 decade ago
Why before 'much', 'as' is not used. Please explain me.

Thakur Kunwar Singh said:   1 decade ago
"As much as" means "the same quantity as" i.e. you need two things to compare while using "as much as". Hence the sentence is wrong and much as is to be used.
