As to and as for

Could you tell me the difference between "as to" and "as for"? Thank you.

Hello Guest The meanings are very close. 'As for' means 'regarding', and sits on its own with a noun (or verbal noun), as an introductory clause: 1. As for the estimate, that was sent yesterday.

1. As for the estimate, that was sent yesterday.
2. As for Peter, I think it's about time we sacked him.
3. As for answering posts on English Forums, I prefer to leave that to the other members.
