A replacement

Post by pdh0224 »

Dear teacher,

And to make the project even more challenging, the team is trying to push imaging science to its limits by accurately depicting Washington as he would have looked at three stages of his life: a 19-year-old surveyor who earned his military reputation fighting for the British in the French and Indian War; the 45-year-old who took command of the Colonial Army during the Revolutionary War; and the 57-year-old statesman as he was sworn in as the first president of the new republic.

Q : Can I replace the bold "as" with other word like this?

Who: NO ('as' is a conjunction here, and cannot therefore be replaced by a relative pronoun).


When: YES.
