Dear who could help me out
Hi, I got a question of grammatical use of 'as'.
'As' can be used in many different forms like conjunction, preposition etc..
The question that I want to ask is,
in case of "At the same time as he ran out of money, he was fired from his job", the clause followed by 'as' (conjunction) describes the noun 'time'. right?
However, as far as I have been taught, Conjunctions do not describe noun. They rather connect sentence to sentence, noun to noun, etc...
The conjunction that can connect noun and the clause, I know of, is "that"
for ex) I know the fact that you are not one of us.
So, what is the exact grammatical form of as in that case? If as is used as conjunction how is it possible it can describe noun?
Please help me out!
