    1. Use like + adjective + noun: The witch sounded like an old crow; your idea sounds like a good one.

    2. Use like + noun: This piece of music sounds like Mozart; those clouds look like sheep.

    3. Use like + clause: It looks like a storm is coming; it smells like something is burning.

    4. Use as if or as though + clause: It looks as if it's going to rain; it sounds as though there's a party next door.
