再談As

As 這個字很棘手,為什麼?

大部分中學文法書都教as是連接詞, 例如:

As it appears from her essay, she has read widely in Romantic literature.

但比較少人講as 作為關係代名詞(relative pronoun):

As has been said above, he is a bad guy.

以下就是as 作relative pronoun時的relative clause:

as everybody knows, as you may remember, as I can see, as I have said, as I am told, as you may have heard

as引導的形容詞子句, 可稱為sentential relative clause, 因為很多時也是修飾整個句子的.

所以as作為關係代名詞或連接詞也對,
