Just like

Is this form correct?
Just like the parents have their way of doing things so do the children.

Thanks
  

Top answer

In formal writing, reserve "like" as a preposition and use "as" for the conjunction: Just as parents have their way of doing things, so do the children. Children have their way of doing things, just like adults. The distinction for the conjunction is fast disappearing, if not already gone.
