有人问： 如何用as indeed? indeed何义？ 例如：
(1)This generalization may seem obvious, as indeed it is; yet the rule therein implicit is often flouted by careless writers.
indeed在此相当于in fact（事实上，实际上），因此as indeed即as in fact。如此句中的as indeed it is即意为“而事实上也正是显然的”（而不是似乎显然的）。as和indeed常在一起连用，indeed实际上只起一种强调的作用，再如：
(2)They stated their concern that the travellers must be very tired, as indeed they were, after such a long flight.
(3)Both the black girl and the old gentleman thought the Irishman rather a coarse fellow （as indeed he was）.
(4)He never used the elephants for war, thinking them uncertain, as indeed they are.
从语法上看，以上诸例中的as皆为关系代词。as自然亦可用作连词，意为“如，像”，实例有如：
(5)It could never here accurred to him — as indeed it never had — a better mission might be to bring to Hawaii the blessings...
(6)Ironically, in language （as indeed in other matters）rules have a fascination for most of us.
顺便提一下，由于indeed在此等于in fact, 所以as indeed往往可以代之以as in fact，例如：
(7)I shall tell him that you are going to recover your health, as in fact , you are.
