Is dressed as a clown the same as dressed like a clown?
When you say he is dressed as a clown, you mean he is actually wearing a clown costume. Can you say he is dressed like a clown when you would like to express his clothing somewhat reminds you of clown costumes? Or, do they both mean the same? Could you help me clarify it? Thank you always.
