"as well"

Hi,

With equal effect: I might as well go.

I don't really understand what the second definition means. Could you explain it to me, please?

In simple terms, 'I might as well go' means that the result for me if I go is the same as the result for me if I don't go. There is no difference.

eg Someone offers me a new job. But the pay and the work is the sam

Thank you Clive. I think I know what it means now.

Hmmm...about the example you gave me, would it be the same if it read '...the same as my current job...' instead of '...the same for as my current job'?

Thanks again.

Best wishes,

You mean But the pay and the work is the same as my current job.

Hi, Clive. How would you restate these sentences?

I might as well stay in my current job.

The taxi was so slow we might just as well have gone on the bus.

I wouldn't restate them. They are both perfect.

Hi again,

Sorry to be off-topic but would it be better if 'rephrase' was used instead of 'restate' in here?

Thank you.

Hi,

Better, but 'restate' is OK.
