Like or As!
Like:
It is used when the second part of the comparison is a noun, a gerund or pronoun:
-Dave looks like His Father. - Do not do like me!
-Talking To Her Is Like talking to a brick wall.
This is like comparing two things to point out the similarity between them.
Like can be modified by adverbs such as: just, more, very much, not at all ...
-Just like you, Jane wanted to Be a doctor.
As
It is used when the second part of the comparison is a verb, a proposal or a preposition:
-Do not do as I do!
-Prices are very high as in The 1990. (As They Were)
Also seeks to have a name, when 'as' has the meaning as and refers to the function, the job of someone:
-She works as a nanny.
Note:
-She Speaks like a teacher: she talks like a professor (in the manner of a teacher, but not teacher)
-She Speaks as a teacher: she speaks as a teacher (she teaches)
