When do we use 'as' and 'like'? isn't 'as' suitable for the sentence I used?

JimmyH When do we use 'as' and 'like'? isn't 'as' suitable for the sentence I used?
Generally, "like" goes with just a (pro)noun, "as" goes with a clause (with a verb).

like me; as I do

As you can see from the version that I wrote, there is no need for "as" and a verb in your sentence.
