Can you give me exaples for the use of As for?

"As for" is a phrase used to introduce a new topic or change the focus of a conversation, often after discussing something else. Here are some examples:

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.
