Hi Sivakumar,
Please do not mind but I am rectifying your post itself:
Hello Mr. AlanMr. Torsten, Could you please give me the detailed explanation and example sentence about usage of "as"?, as I am confused.
Please do reply. Thanks, Sivakumar.
I have already used 'as' in the rectified post above  ~Gray. _________________ First lesson - English, not english. I, not i. ~A student of English |

"As" as a conjunction introduces a subordinate sentence (Noun - Verb) Examples: "He sings AS you DO". "Behave AS your mother TOLD you". "Do it AS you KNOW how".
"As" as a preposition preceding a noun (Preposition - Noun) Examples: "He works AS a LAWYER" "He plays AS a PROFESSIONAL". (He is a professional) "He plays LIKE a PROFESSIONAL". (He plays with the same skills as a professional although he is not).
Hope this will shed light upon you. God bless you and merry Christmas. Cisco. _________________ Please, always correct me if I have made any kind of mistakes in my posts. |

He arrived as a tourist. = He was a tourist.
He arrived like a tourist. = He arrived in the same way as a tourist, but he wasn't a tourist.
Like you... = similar to you...
As you... = when I am you... |
