As - Like - As If - As Though - Such As 1
Theory:
The words AS and LIKE have very similar meanings in some structures but very different meanings in
others.
This can cause some confusion.
For this function, AS cannot be used because AS applies only to jobs or functions.
For example:
He works AS a waiter.
This means he is a waiter, not that he resembles one.
When used for comparisons, Like means SIMILAR TO and AS means IN THE SAME WAY.
Exercises:
She eats _____________________a bird.
