17) As soon as :-  __ल्या __ल्या (_lyA __lyA)
The suffix ल्या(lyA) is appended to past tense form of verb and it is said twice.
As soon as he came  -> तो आल्या आल्या (to AlyA AlyA) ...
As soon as she saw  -> तीने बघितल्या बघितल्या (tIne baghitalyA baghitalyA )
As soon as they become -> ते झाल्या झाल्या (te jhAlyA jhAlyA)

Other way is to append "ताच"(tAch) to verb stem. 
As soon as he came  -> तो येताच (to yetAch)...
As soon as she saw  -> तीने बघताच (tIne baghatAch )

As soon as they become -> ते होताच (te hotAch)


18) Once :- की (kI)
In English we say "Let me know once he comes". Marathi sentence uses past tense form. So literal translation may sound like "He came then tell me"
तो आला की मला सांग ( to AlA kI malA sAMg )

Once I see your story I will give you review -> "I saw your story then I will give you review " ->मी तुझी गोष्ट बघितली की अभिप्राय देईन (mI tujhI goShT baghitalI kI abhiprAy deIn )

20) so that :- जेणेकरून  ( jeNekarUn )

We should avoid plastic so that there will be less pollution -> आपण प्लास्टिक टाळले पाहिजे जेणेकरून प्रदूषण कमी होईल  ( ApaN plAsTik TALale pAhije jeNekarUn pradUShaN kamI hoIl )

21) Whereas :- उलट (ulaTa), उलटपक्षी (ulaTapakShI ), प्रत्यक्षात ( pratyakShAt)
He cheated me whereas I was helping him :- त्याने मला फसवले उलट/ उलटपक्षी मी त्याला मदत करत होतो  ( tyAne malA phasavale ulaT/ ulaTapakShI mI tyAlA madat karat hoto )

22) Whether :- का (kA )
Whether ____ or not:- का नाही  (kA nAhI )
