As done?

eg,

He did as done by his co-worker.

In these instances, it is a main verb (though you have not supplied enough of the text to sort out the grammar. Your original ('He did as done by his co-worker') seems to have none.

If you wish to rephrase to something like this-- He did the project as done by his co-worker-- it would make sense.

Hi. Thank you again. The only difference between my sentence "He did as done by his co-worker, which I used to write my first post in this thread, and yours "He did the project as done by his co-worker" seems to be that mine doesn't have an object. Could we think of your sentence like this?
