In terms of using "as". Are the first and the third sentences correct? Or should I just use the second and fourth one?
(1) he plays soccer well as(just like) his father used to.
(2) he plays soccer as well as his father used to.
(3) he is good as his father was.
(4) he is as good as his father was.
Answer
I don't think 1 and 3 should really be used.
Sentence 3 may turn to an implication that since his father was good, he turned out to the same but that won't really match how other sentences are framed and may cause confusion.
I'd just say to use the original form.
I hope I helped.
