“As” 一詞拼寫簡單，用法可不少！“Work as a waitress” 是什么意思？“As…as” 的句式用來做什么？如何用 “as” 表示兩件事情同時發(fā)生？看視頻，跟主持人 Sam 鞏固復習 “as” 的四個常見用法。

文字稿

'As' is tiny, but mighty. You can use it in lots of different ways. So, let's have a look at four of them together.

You can use 'as' – number 1 – to compare two people or things.
Tokyo is as big as Los Angeles (more or less)

Number 2 – to describe somebody's job:
I used to work as a waitress. (And no, I wasn't very good)

Or to describe something's function:
Did you know that you can use olive oil as shampoo? Me neither!

Number 3 – to say that something happened at the same time as something else.
You rang me just as I was texting you.

Number 4 – to give a reason like 'because'.
As the sun is shining today, I think I might go for some fresh air after this.

And as you have hopefully been learning something new, why don't you practice one of these in the comments now?
