~ as follows; +++
What I expect is a dependent sentence when coming with a when clause as follows; I came back home when he called me.

Is there another well-formed structure?

No, a colon should follow 'follows'. However, 'as follows' normally introduces a list, so it sounds stilted here. I suggest:
What I expect is a dependent clause following 'when': I came back home when he called me.

I answered your first post. Your second is indeed too messy to understand. Please try again.

OK, thank you^^
You already answered 'as follows' is stilted. But, I would keep it for the question point to be made sense.
So, putting it in a simple way, it can be:
Is the usage of 'as follows' correct?
Is 'as follows'' usage correct? ('as follows'' <= means as follows' (like we put ' in students' but not student's)
Now, the questi

I must add one more thing to make the question understandable.
1. Is the usage of 'as follows' correct'
2. Is 'as follows'' usage correct?
I'm not asking if 1 and 2 are correct related to the previous question but asking if the sturcture 2 is correct as 1.

I still don't know what you mean by '<=means'.
'As follows' is the fixed phrase. You wish to use it as a plural possessive noun within quotation marks? I don't see how that can be done; you certainly haven't done that in your initial sentence. Would you like to try writing another?

'You wish to use it as a plural possessive noun within quotation marks?'
Yes, you saw through my point.
That is my question.
The mark after correct in #1 is nothing(my mistake, sorry) / The marks around as follows in #2 means possessive in quotation marks; I put the possessive mark first and then I put single quotation marks around as follows'.
Yes, you saw through my point.

No, you cannot do that. The phrase 'as follows' could be manipulated plurally, I suppose, qua phrase, but your method is terribly awkward and confusing. Consider that we do not normally use the Anglo-Saxon genitive
