I studied maths like my uncle ( '' did''- es opcional ).

I studied maths as did my uncle. ( está oración debe llevar un verbo, en este caso ''to do '' pero en el pasado )

espero que este te ayude :)

"as" and "like"

In English, there are two words for comparing two things. You can use "like" and "as."  For example:

"I studied math as/like my uncle." (Note: Use "like" here, not "as")

Nevertheless, there are situations when just one must be used. What is the rule for knowing when I should use one or the other?

A native speaker would say: "I studied math like my uncle." The word "like" is generally used to indicate something that is similar to another.
