英语课本中, 我们常常见到as的身影, as的用法很多,它有时用来引导词组,有时用来引导句子, ,有时又可以作为一种固定结构出现, 如: as well as; as follows ; as to等等。那么中学课本里的As,常用的用法有哪些呢?

4 as用作代词,引导非限制性
定语从句,一般代表整句话的内容,而且它在句中的 位置比较灵活,可置于句首,也可以位于句中或句末。例如:
If knowledge is power . as sir Francis Bacon famously wrote in 1597 , then perhaps creativity can be described as the ability to use that power . 如果像弗朗斯培根1597年曾写的:知识就是力量。那么创造力就是运用那种力量的能力。
5 as if 或as though 用作复合连词,表示 "好像" "似乎", 引导
状语从句或表语从句,其内容多为想象的或夸大的, 常用虚拟语气。 但如果从句的内容的确可能, 也可用直陈语气。另外, as if 或as though 还可引导不定式,形容词短语,介词短语等。

此外,高中
英语课本中还常会碰到①as well as②asso long as③as... as possible这样的短语,它们有以下一些用法:
⑴ as well as 表示 "除......之外" "又" "也"或 "和......一样好",当as well as 用于主语部分时,更像介词,它引导的一个词组,我们理解为插入语,谓语动词必须与as well as前面的名词或代词保持人称和数的一致。例如:
Mother, as well as her children ,was invited to the party .妈妈和她的孩子们应邀参加了晚会。
The parents, as well as their child ,were invited to the party. 父母和他们的孩子被邀请参加了晚会。
⑵ asso long as 表示条件,引导条件
状语从句,意为 "只要"或 "在......的情况下"。例如:
This project can go on as it is not raining. 只要不下雨,工程就可以继续进行。
⑶as... as possible 是as... as it is possible 的缩略形式,意为 "尽可能地......",例如:
Please telephone your reply to me as soon as possible 请你尽快回我的电话.
在我们作文中,还会经常运用到as的短语,例如:as a matter of fact (事实上,实际上); as a result(结果);as a rule (通常);as for (至于);such as(例如);as usual(通常);the same as......(与......相同)等等。
As的用法确实多而且繁杂,但as无论是以什么结构或形式出现,只要抓住它的词性,从词性的角度去分析,我们就不难理解它的用法。
