Hi, there.


Look at the following sentences:

#1. Nobody contributed to the understanding of dreams as much as Freud.
#2. Nobody contributed to the understanding of as many dreams as Freud.

In the English class today, I learned the sentence #1 is correct and the sentence #2 is not.

But I cannot understand why the sentence #2 is not correct.

Can anybody explain to me why the sentence #2 is grammatically wrong?


Thanks.

It's not grammatically wrong.
It means Freud contributed to the understanding of more dreams than anybody else.
It may be factually wrong.
