Differences between LIKE vs AS

As – Preposition / Conjunction

As may function as a preposition and is used when we talk about a job or function:

Examples:

  • I worked as a taxi driver.
  • He was nominated as a Secretary of State.
  • He used the carpet as a decoration in his office.
  • The wind can be used as a source of energy.

As may also be used as a conjunction meaning in the same way that…

Examples:

  • She behaved exactly as her mother told her.
  • When in Rome do as the Romans do.

Like – Preposition / Conjunction

Like, may be used as preposition meaning similar to. It is used to compare things.

  • He has been working like a dog.
  • I am like my mother. I hate waiting.
  • He looks like his father.

Like is often used in place of the subordinating conjunction as, or as if.

Examples:


  • They look like they have been having fun. = They look as if they have been having fun.
