Grammar
Like and as
Like is followed by a noun or pronoun. For example, "I'm like my sister", or "Like my sister, I have brown eyes."
As is followed by a subject and verb. For example, "She's a good student, as her brother was before her."

How do you differentiate between the 'subject' and a noun?
He looks just like my brother. He looks similar to my brother.
He is smart, as he does well in his examinations?
I normally use 'as' to give a reason.

- Noun has nothing to do with subject; it can occur anywhere in the sentence whereas the subject usually precedes the verb.
- 'as' is a conjuction and thereby joins the main clause with the subordinate clause and 'like' is a preposition, which occur before a noun or pronoun.
