Dear teachers:

Would you make a sentence involving the phrase "just as well"?

Thanks.

It's just as well that I didn't try to create such a sentence because I'm not a very good writer. Very Happy

--> "you can go home just as well"

"just as well" means : you can do this .. instead of another thing and there's not much difference in doing the one or the other.

maybe you could also use it as a comparison "she's in maths just as well as in english"

okay?
greets

It is just as well that I sometimes ask stupid questions because I've never been a smart person Smile .
