AS
- We use "as" in comparatives and with the same as:

- "As" is used to indicate people's professions or the role or function of sb or sth:
He works as a waiter.
He works as a slave = he's a slave.
An electric drill can also be used as a screwdriver.

- When "as" is used as a conjunction, it is followed by a subject and a verb:
Do as I say and sit down.

As you know, we're leaving tomorrow.

- As is used after certain verbs, for example, define, know, refer, describe...
