LIKE V/S AS

Like v/s. As: Like is used to express similarity. It is normally used to show similarity
between two nouns e.g. Lemons are like limes.
As on the other hand would normally compare two clauses and not two nouns.
E.g. He looks as if he is drunk.
Such As: It is normally used to give examples. Compare the two sentences ‘I
want you to buy fruits like lemons and limes’. However, if you want lemons and
limes, you would say that ‘I want you to buy fruits such as lemons and limes’. The
earlier sentence means you don’t want lemons and limes, but fruits like those.
