Help : "This", "That" and "as", "like"
I need to know when to use/employ "this" or "that" at the end of sentences in order to talk about something; and know when to use/employ "as" or "like" when making a comparison.Re this/that, the basic rule is, use 'that' when you are talking about something that has already been said. Use 'this' to introduce something that has not been talked about before. For example:
"I can't get to sleep at night."
"That can be a real problem. I suggest this: Drink a shot of cognac before you go to bed."

You would use 'as' to say how one thing compares to another thing:
"as quick as a fox"
"as nice as you"
"as far away as England"
You would use 'like' when something is similar to something else:
"a cat is like a lion"
"the sea is like a bath"
"he is like his father"
I hope that helps a little!
