Learn English – “as follows” vs “as the following”

word-choiceword-usage

As follows sounds more correct to me, as the following sounds super wrong to me,but just wanted to hear your opinion as well on this one, is "as the following" a legit phrase when listing things that follow, for instance can you use it like this:

bank process shall be as the following:

a) something
b) something else

Best Answer

I can't put my finger on the exact grammatical reason, but I know that "as the following" is not correct in this context. "As follows" is the only way I've ever heard it.
