What is the meaning of
“just as”, “company”, “business”, “so” in:
Just as large companies are having to cut back, so small businesses are being forced to close.
Thanks
K
P.s: “company” and “business” in this case are interchangeable?
Hi,
In your sentence:
the meaning is: In the same way that large companies …likewise small companies …
Companies would refer to particular named commercial concerns. Businesses would refer in a general sense to a all commercial enterprises.
