"As + past participle" + clause
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 I'm a new comer to this forum. Actually, I've got a quick question about the structure "As + past participle". I've seen it in some emails from my US/UK colleagues but I don't seem to be able find it in Oxford's/Longman's dictionaries. I'm just wondering whether that structure is correct or not. 02 br
02 br
00 "As promised, I've enclosed the documents you need..." 02 br
02 br
00 "As discussed in today's meeting, we have to work out a cost reduction plan asap" 02 br
02 br
00 I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this. 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks. 02 br

00 I am not exactly sure what the difference is between British English and American’s but this type of structure is quite common in the US. 02 br
