Hi Clive,

I had a question
Is this the same kind of sentence as above?

The time expired as the ball went out of bounds.
The ball went out of bounds as the time expired.

You said its the focus of the speaker. But apart from that does it mean the same thing? I keep reading both and I don't see a difference.

He landed on his feet as he released
