Hi everyone! Maybe my question is a bit silly, but I still can't understand when I should use "as" and when I should use "like" (when in spanish it translates: "como") . Please, someone tell me the difference and some examples of how I should use each one. I hope my question is clear, Thanks! First, please notice my corrections above:) We generally use LIKE and AS to make comparisons. LIKE The structure of the sentence is usually: VERB + LIKE + NOUN / PRONOUN. He speaks like a native speaker. She looks like a supermodel. AS The structure of the sentence is usually: AS + SUBJECT + VERB. Nobody sings as she does. They went to the party as they were. It is very common in American English to use LIKE instead of AS. However, it is generally considered informal to use it in this way. We play football like champions do. Another use of AS is to say what the role/function of a person/thing is. He started work as a carpenter. She used the tapestry as a decoration in her living room. LIKE vs. AS Be careful, in similar sentences that use LIKE and AS, the meanings of each sentence are very different. For example: As your boss, I must warn you to be careful. (I am your boss.) Like your boss, I must warn you to be careful. (I am not your boss, but he/she and I have similar attitudes.)

Yes.

I agree with Andres. Also, in order for you to live "on" Mexico City, you would have to live on the ENTIRE city. Every part of it. If you say I live on Mexico City, it sounds like you are talking about the whole thing not just a part of it.

first is good. second should be ...She was sitting in the row ahead of us. last should be....She was sitting in the row in front of us.

My grandmothers birthday

Today my grandmother turned 73.  We celebrated on the roof or her building. She was so happy.
The whole family had fun. We prepared a lot of food and a big, chocolate cake.
I ate a lot of food and honestly, I am feeling sick right now; but it was worth it.
