In this episode, we take a closer look at the word “as” and all the different ways it’s used in everyday English. You’ll hear common phrases like as soon as possible, as opposed to, as for, as far as, and more. We’ll also go over how “as” works in equative comparisons (I’m as tall as him), to show reason (As it was raining, we stayed inside), and as a time marker (I was looking outside as the bird flew by).

We’ll go over plenty of examples you can use right away in conversation—like as long as you finish your work first, as much as I’d love to go, or as if that were true. By the end, you’ll see just how versatile this small word can be and feel more confident using it in different contexts.
