As, like (examples)


 * Like ** and **as** are often confused in English. They can both be used to talk about how things are similar.

 **Like** is followed by a noun or pronoun. For example, "I'm**like** my sister", or "**Like** my sister, I have brown eyes." However, in spoken English, **like** is often used instead of**as**. "She's a good student, **like** her brother was before her." We can use **as** in certain expressions, such as "**as** you know", "**as** you requested", "**as** we agreed". We also use **as**…..**as** to give comparisons. For example, "He's **as** clever **as** his sister."
 * As ** is followed by a subject and verb. For example, "She's a good student, **as** her brother was before her."
 * As ** is used with a preposition, such as, "**As** in the 1960's, the population explosion will cause some problems."
