🔉 As VS. Like 🔉

❓What is the difference between As and Like?

As and Like can be very confusing for many English learners. Today, I'm going to explain how they're different.

🔆 As 🔆
💮Proposition/Conjunction💮

👉 As may function as a preposition and is used when we talk about a job or function.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 I work as a cook.
💭 He used my pen as a weapon.

👉 As may also be used as a conjunction meaning "In the same way that..."

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 She behaved as her teacher told her.
💭 Walk just as I do.

🔆 Like 🔆
💮Proposition/Conjunction💮

👉 Like may be used as preposition meaning similar to. It is used to compare things.

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 He worked like a dog.
💭 She sings just like her mom.

👉 Like is often used in place of the subordinating conjunction "as, or as if".

🔔 Example 🔔

💭 They look like they've been fighting. = They look as if they've been fighting.
