Alexander Koryagin: AK> "So as" and "so that" are interchangeable. "So as" is AK> less common, however. Maybe you are confusing "so as" with "so as to"? If not, then could you cite some examples and dictionary defintions that show "so as" to be interchangeable with "so that" when introducing an adverbial clause of result or purpose? AS>> Your quotation is in perfect English, even with the AS>> classic first-person "should". Nothing, however, was AS>> replaced in the answer, but the verb phrase "take the AS>> most important examination of your career" was simply AS>> omitted. AK> As was "speaks" in my previous sentence with "to". No. Here is your sentence: When a person is in a company of friends he never speaks formally. And he should not to. If I reinstate the "speaks" that you say was simply omitted, the sentence turns into nonsense: And he should not to speaks. You did not omit "speaks", but rather replaced "speak" with "to", which is illogical because it vioaltes type safety. --- * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0) |
