What is the meaning of "as + adjective + noun as something"?

The structure is simply an extension of the "as + adjective + as" structure. Consider this sentence:

• This place is as good as any for  a catnap.

It follows the structure that you have learned: "as + adjective + as." However, the adjective "good" is actually talking about the noun "place." So we can move the noun from where it is to just after "good," since the "adjective + noun" structure is quite common in English. However, we have to make a slight change. Usually, the phrase would be "a good place." However, because of the "as ... as" structure, we cannot separate "good" from "as" so we say "as good a place as." When we do this, we get the sentence:

• This is as good a place as any for a catnap.

We can then use this basic structure as part of larger sentence.

Here are some other examples:

• He is as strong a man as I have ever seen. (= He is a man who is as strong as I have ever seen.)
• We've never been in as large a house as this. (= We've never been in a house that is as large as this.)
• I've never met as big a liar as Jack (= I've never met a liar who is as big [at telling lies] as Jack).
