1. Like and Would like
Likeasa verb
Construction
Like has a numbers of meanings and uses.
It as a verb meaning ‘enjoy’
We use like to talk about things or people which we enjoy or feel positive about:
 Like + noun phrase
Ex. “I like Fedez singer but I don’t like his tattoos”
“Do you like pizza?”
“He really likes the playing of Cristiano Ronaldo.”
 Like+ -ing
We use the verb to like + -ing, when we talk about things that we
enjoy doing.
Ex.“I like playing tennis.”
“He likes going out to clubs.”
“They like watching television.”
 Like + to-infinitive
We can also use the verb like with the infinitive of the following verb:
Ex. “He likes to swim.”
In British English, this means that he thinks it is good to
swim in order to keep in shape. It doesn't mean that he
generally enjoys swimming.
Ex. “She likes to go and see her parents at the
weekend.”
“I don’t like to cycle in the dark.”
“He likes his friends to call him Hank.

2. Like and as
As and like are prepositions or conjunctions. The prepositions as and like have
different meanings. As + noun means ‘in the role of’, like + noun means ‘similar
to’ or ‘in the same way as’.
 We use like (but not as) to compare two things:
Ex: “She’s got a headache like me.”
Not: “She’s got a headache as me.”
 When we compare appearance or behaviour, we use like, not as:
Ex: “That house looks like a castle.”
Not: “That house looks as a castle.”
 As is commonly used to talk about jobs:
Ex: “He worked for a long time as a teacher in Africa.”
Not: “… like a teacher in Africa.”
 The conjunctions as and like have the same meaning
when used in comparisons. Like is a little more
informal.
Ex: “Nobody understands him as I do.”
“Nobody understands him like I do.”
