Welcome to the encouragement lounge, a stop off point for hard-working students and others who want a moment of fun, inspiration, or calm. Posts will be brief and are intended for quick study breaks or a moment of re-energizing. I hope this blog gives you a little push forward. Take good care, Harriet
As and like Use like before a noun, as in 'She's very like her mother'. Where a clause follows, you should use as or as if, e.g. 'He's behaving as if he owns the place' (not 'like he owns'), or 'You don't know him as I do' (not 'like I do').
