Hello, everyone.
Would you please take a look at the following definition and examples of as used as an adverb:

I don't understand how as in the square as distinct from the rectangle and the church as separate from the state is functioning as an adverb, there isn't even a verb, to start with.. .
Thank you.

- Put the implied "being" after as then it may be more convincing: the square as (being) distinct from the rectangle; the church as (being) separate from the state.
- In my native tongue there is an exact equivalent of the use of " as" as an adverb.

AnonymousPut the implied "being" after as then it may be more convincing: the square as (being) distinct from the rectangle; the church as (being) separate from the state. In my native tongue there is an exact equivalent of the use of "as" as an adverb.Note that in my phrase the use of "as" as an adverb the second as (that without inverted commas) is an adverb.
