There are different ways it can be said and it's hard to explain. I can give some examples though...
"I am as strong as a bear"
"As I walked in the room, I saw my mom"
"I am learning English as a native Chinese speaker"
Hard to explain but I hope it helped a little bit

Yo bro thanks a lot but I was wondering like you know “as” has some similar use to the word “which” in sentence like
#As we all know, Hangzhou City is famous for the West Lake.
#Tom was late again, which made his English teacher very angry.
So when to use as and when to use which
#As we all know, Hangzhou City is famous for the West Lake.
#Tom was late again, which made his English teacher very angry.
So when to use as and when to use which

In the first sentence, "which we all know" would work fine, but there would need to be more before that part. You would never start off a sentence with "which we all know" but "as we all know would work."
Example sentences could be...
"As we all know, China is a big country." ("which" would not make sense)
or
"China, as we all know, is a big country" (which we all know could work here, however it's more uncommon than "as")

Appreciate it but in the second example seems like both as and which would work

@Chen_is_sad it doesn't work there unfortunately, but just keep working on it, you'll understand this rule naturally the more you work on it
