1. Introducing a new topic:
* "We've talked about the weather, but as for the traffic, it's been terrible all week."
* "I'm really happy with my new apartment. As for the neighborhood, it's a bit noisy."
* "The food was delicious. As for the service, it was a bit slow."
2. Changing the focus of the conversation:
* "I'm not sure I can help you with that. As for your other question, I think I can answer it."
* "I'm not interested in politics. As for the new movie, I heard it's great."
* "I don't like her new haircut. As for her personality, she's still a great friend."
3. Expressing a different opinion or perspective:
* "I agree with you on that point. As for the rest, I'm not so sure."
* "I think the book was well-written. As for the plot, it was a bit predictable."
* "He's a good worker. As for his punctuality, that's another story."
4. Emphasizing a specific point:
* "I'm not sure what to do next. As for the deadline, it's tomorrow."
* "We have a lot to discuss. As for the most important issue, it's the budget."
* "I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it. As for the meeting, I'll try my best."
Note: "As for" is often followed by a noun or pronoun. You can also use "as to" in place of "as for," but "as for" is more common.
Avoid using "as for" when:
* You are simply adding information to a previous topic. In this case, use "and" or "also."
* You are changing the subject completely. In this case, start a new sentence with a different topic.
