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

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

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
- English (US)
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
