What are the differences between "like" and "as"?
I know that "like" it's used as a verb (gustar) but I'm not sure when can I use it as a comparative and when can I use "as" if both mean the same. I hope that my question is clear. Thanks!

Not sure if this is a rule or not, but I tend to use 'like' for subjective things, such as "he sounds like his father", or "she looks like her mother".
For more objective things, i.e. something you can measure, I tend to use 'as', as in "he is as tall as his father".
Hope that helps
