Как же все не любят грамматику

Like vs equally

Like = 'similar to', 'the same as' (подобно, похоже, как, как будто, также как)

Note that you cannot use equally in this way:
Обратите внимание, что предлог as не может употребляться в следующих случаях:

• What a beautiful house! It's like a palace, (non 'as a palace')
• 'What does Sandra do?' 'She's a teacher, like me.' (not 'as me')
• Be careful! The floor has been polished. It'southward similar walking on ice. (not 'equally walking')
• It'south raining once again. I hate weather condition like this, (not 'every bit this')

In these sentences similar is a preposition. And then it is followed by a noun (like a palace), a pronoun (like me / similar this) or -ing (similar walking).
В этих предложениях like используется в качестве предлога. Поэтому за ним следуют существительное, местоимение или герундий.

Y'all tin also say 'like [somebody/something] practiceing [something]':
• 'What's that dissonance?' 'Information technology sounds like a baby crying.'

Sometimes similar = 'for example':
Иногда like означает "например"
• Some sports, similar motor racing, can be dangerous.
Некоторые виды спорта, например автомобильные гонки, могут быть опасными.
You can also apply such every bit (= for example):
В этих случаях также можно употребить such as
• Some sports, such as motor racing, can exist dangerous.

As (in preposition) = 'in the position of, 'in the form of' (в качестве кого-л., чего-л.)
Значения as в роли предлога

• A few years ago I worked as a jitney driver, (non 'similar a jitney driver')
• Nosotros've got a garage but we haven't got a machine, so we utilise the garage every bit a workshop.
• Many English words (for example, 'piece of work' and 'rain') can exist used as verbs or nouns.
