question about "as"
|
|
Hi everybody!! I am a bit confused and I though you could give me a hand with it.... They think he is the best person for the job.� How can I rewrite it using "as"?? �I have thought of... They gave him the job as he �s the best for it.� Does it make sense??? Thanks a lot and have a great day!!! |

I feel you could even rewrite like this:
They think no one is as good as him for the job.

How about;
They gave him the job as they think he is the best person for it.
Or.
They think he is the best person for the job as he:
� is the most qualified.
� has all the necessary attributes etc etc.

Probably
"I consider him as the best person for the job" |

As is used in this case like "because"or "since". You can even begin with "as": As he is the most qualified, they gave him the job.
