As
We can use as when two things happen at the same time.
Example:
We all waved goodbye to Liz as she drove away.
Asthey were signing the contract, a page was missing.
As Kate left from her job, she said goodbye her boss.
Just as
We use when two things happen exactly at that moment.
Example:
Just as I sat down, the phone rang.
The phone rang just as I sat down.
Just as I left from the classroom, my teacher arrived.
My teacher arrived just as I left from the classroom.
As & When
We use As when two things
happened at the same time:
As we walked home, we talked
about what we would have for
dinner.
As they lived near us, we used
to see them quite often.
(because they lived near us)
As = because
We can use as instead of because but in a informal way.
Example:
As I was hungry, I decided to find somewhere to eat. (= because I was
hungry).
I cannot come with you as I am too busy. (=because I am too busy).
Since
The word since is better used when referring to time.
Example:
Since we have plenty of time, lets go and have a coffee.
I have not spoken to Cecilia since she moved to Texas.
I have not eaten a thing since Harold left me.
