Which one is correct? and why?
I haven’t yet received your documents as at to date.
I haven’t yet received your documents as at today.
I haven’t yet received your documents as at todate.
Hi,
I would suggest: As of today I haven’t (yet) received your documents
or
To date I haven’t (yet) received your documents.
I think you can omit ‘yet’ in both sentences.

Hi Alan,
What’s the meaning and function of ‘as of’ here?
Does ‘to date’ here mean the same as ‘today’, Alan?
Many thanks

Hi,
‘As of today’ means up till today and so does ‘to date’. They are both used to indicate that something has or has not happened up till the present time/ present day.

According to the dictionary, [as of/as from] is used to show the time or date from which something starts

Hi Sitifan
The expression ‘as of’ can mean ‘on’, ‘at’ or ‘from’:
Webster’s Dictionary: as of
“used to indicate a time or date at which something begins or ends”
The expression ‘as of’ is frequently used to refer to the point in time when something begins. To me, that is more or less the same sense as ‘from’.
However, the use of this expression to mean ‘at’ can be viewed as ‘at this specified time’, and thus you might talk, for example, about something which ended at a specified time, or about something which has or has not yet happened up until the specified time, or you might talk about something that started at the specified time in the past, or you might talk about something that will start at the specified time in the future.

(Same query for this)
Hi Nessie

Thank you so much for your very clear-cut examples, Amy
