As vs. like Wed Dec 29, 2004 0:50 am  As vs. like
 

Matt,

Take a look at these examples:

Do as I say.
Do it like this.

She walks and talks like a movie star.
As I said last Friday, it's time to make a decision.

We use as + clause (subject and verb) and like + noun, pronoun or adverb.

I didn't know exactly how to use "AS" and "LIKE" correctly.

Very HappyVery HappyVery HappyVery Happy

But I think that now it won't be so hard for me the use of these two words.

THANKYOU!!!

please check my examples:

1. he looks like a Palestinian.......this is not meant that he is a palestinian

2. he is as a Palestinian .... he is 100% a Palestinian

i am sorry if i am wrong Smile . but can you make it clear?

As vs like Wed Jun 22, 2005 4:36 am  As vs like
 

Question I'm not really so sure about the use of these two words, because I have thought that like was used when we're making some comparation in a particular sence but as when we're talking about a general manner; so could you please check these two sentences below:

She looks like her mother
She looks as a big movie star

What's the real meaning on each one?

Thanks a lot!

Just my two cents Wed Jun 22, 2005 22:02 pm  Just my two cents
 

I'm gonna try and put my two cents here. When to use which is a matter of practice I'd say, but there is kind of sublte nuance between these two. I'll explain what in my opinion could help to tell them apart.

like: when similarity is stated in physical or other characteristic.

as: when similarity is described in such a way or manner.

ej. she is like her mother: they look alike.

she worsks as a manager: her job is one of a manager.


She looks as a big movie star: I don't think this one is correct though

She looks like a star? Thu Oct 06, 2005 14:32 pm  She looks like a star?
 

ok here is the defenition of both words, it may help a little:

defenition of Like:
1.To find pleasant or attractive; enjoy.
2.To want to have: would like some coffee.
3.To feel about; regard: How do you like her nerve!
Archaic. To be pleasing to.

sorry, but the dictionary i see no defenition of AS. Confused so theres the defentiion of like i guess.

hope it helps!
