made from one sheet of paper; this paper is folded into parts such as bi-folds and tri-folds.

brochures, leaflets are not only used for commercial purposes. For example, leaflets may
contain information about prevention of a disease. Leaflets are also used for political
campaigns and protests.

bound to look . Unlike brochures, leaflets can also be printed in cheap papers, with black
and white print. But there are also leaflets that are printed on high-quality paper.

banners that are hung from someplace are often longer in height.

made from vinyl.

Sampling connector

Grammatically, “such as” is a prepositional phrase while “for example” is an adverbial

phrase.

This means that what follows “such as” ought to be a noun phrase, while what follows
“for example” ought to be an independent clause. However, it is common to clip
whatever follows “for example” down to just the salient information, by saying
something like “I want a pet. For example, a dog.”

Clearly this is not strictly grammatical, as “A dog” is not a sentence (there is no verb,
even when “for example” is included), but outside of formal writing, it is entirely
acceptable.

Such as:
There are grammar questions on Quora such as this one you are now asking. (In speech
we often say ‘like’ instead of ‘such as’)

There are Turkish people on Quora such as I. (Like I)

For example:

There are many Turkish Quorans on Quora. For example, Gönül Bakmaz, Ahmet Bakır..

In for example, you elaborate on the subject you are talking about by giving examples to
it. That’s it. In order to give a more detailed answer and to make it clearly understood.

Such as is just a more formal way of saying ‘like’ and used in essays mostly. You again
give examples to the subject, practically (for example vs such as) they are similar but they
are not synonyms. Such as is used mostly in essays and for example is used in daily
speech too. They look very similar however, practically both of them are meant to give a
detailed answer by giving examples.

In general, try to use “such as” in the same way that you use “like” or “including”, and try
to use “for example” in the same grammatical way as “nonetheless” or “furthermore”.
