When we make these sort of comparisons, we use as…as. "I'm as tired as a dog." But in this case, we have another expression: "I'm dog-tired."

Clare, please, which is better: "I´m tired as a dog" or "I´m tired like a dog"?

No. I'm dog-tired, or I'm as tired as a dog.

"I´m tired like a horse!" Is it an English idiom or should I say instead of "horse" any other kind of animal?

It's very interesting — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 06:31:19 +0000
