[Tip] " As" vs. "Like"



*Use " like " before a noun (or a pronoun or a noun phrase). "Like" means "same form, appearance, kind, character"
* Use " as " and "as if" before a clause. "As" means "in the manner"

Examples: She looks like her mother. He acts as if he owns the place. You don't know them as I do.
