Hi everybody!

I would like know when I can use "LIKE" or "AS".

Can anyone give me a answer?

I'm sorry if there is other topic about it.

If anyone find any mistakes, please correct me.

Thanks in advanced.

Olá,

Como regra geral se usa LIKE antes de substantivos ou pronomes (I'm like my father)(Life is like an ocean) e AS vem antes de sujeito e verbo (We have to go that way, as my friend said we should)(The ceremony will take place at 7, as agreed).

O AS também é fixo em algumas expressões como "as you know", "as you requested", "as we agreed". Também usamos o AS como comparativo (I'm as smart as my brother)
