Question

I immediately regretted answering in the way I did,but I said,这里的in the way可不可以换成as

Answer 1

1、in the way I did = in the way that I did. 也就是说 I said 是说明 the way 的同位语,即“用这种方式,换言之就是我做过的方式”

2、in the way I did 也可以去掉介词 in 直接说 the way I did.不过,这样 the way 就变成了引导方式状语的从句.这是因为有些表示时间、地点、原因和方式的名词,前面加上定冠词后就相当于一个引导从句的连词,如：

* the moment （that）he enterd, ... 在他进来的那一刻,就如何如何
* the place (that) you are, ... 每在一个地方,就如何如何

3、但是,不能用 as 取代 in th way.因为 as 是关系代词,句中不能缺少所指代的先行词或先行语.如：

* As you know, he works hard. 正如所知道的,他工作很努力.—— as 指代后面的句子,相当于 you know he works hard.
* I received the same grade as you did. 我和你得分一样.—— as 指代 grade

如果把本句改为 I immediately regretted answering as I did. 代词 as 就成了无所指的病句.尽管 as 还可以用作为表示“如同 ”的连词,但是放在本句中说不通,
