一、like作动词用。

1.有“喜欢”，“喜爱”之意。其后接名词、代词、动词不定式、动词ing形式或复合宾语。如：

Most students like pop songs.大多数学生喜欢流行歌曲。 Do you like it ?你喜欢它吗？

I don't like to speak in public.我不喜欢在公共场合说话。 Do you like working in China? 你喜欢在中国工作吗？ I like people to tell the truth. 我喜欢人讲真话。

She doesn't like people praising in front of her.她不喜欢别人当面表扬她。

2.有“愿意”、“想要”之意，常与should, would连用，后可接名词、不定式、或复合宾语。如：

I'd like a cup of tea.我想喝杯茶。

I'd like to see your ten speed bicycles.我想看看你们的十速自行车。 I would like you to stay in the company.我希望你留在公司。 3.在“Ho do you like ?”这一句型中，通常是询问对方对某个地方或某样东西的看法。意为“你觉得怎么样”如： How do you like China?你觉得中国怎么样？ 二、like作介词用，有“象一样”的含义。 1.常与be ,look等连系动词连用，作表语。 What is he like?他是怎么样一个人？ It looks like a cat.它看上去象只猫。

2.表示方式，用作状语。

Don't throw it like that.别那样扔。

It's not polite to speak to the old man like that.象那样跟老人讲话是不礼貌的。

3.修饰前面的名词或代词，作后置定语。

They will produce thins like telephones and computers.他们将生产电话机和计算机之类的产品。 The bird is something like a parrot.这种鸟儿有点象鹦鹉。

三、feel like doing something意为“想做某事”。其后接动词ing形式作宾语，表示意愿或希望。如：

Do you feel like having a walk with me?跟我一道去散散步怎样？ I feel like going to bed. I 'm so tired. 我想上床睡觉。我累极了。 As和like用法的区别

as 和 like 在汉语中都译做\像\但字面下的隐含意思是不同的. like侧重A B两者间的比较,并不意味着A和B属于一类或完全相似. 例如:He speak English like an Englishman.(=in a way an Englishman speaks English.) 表示有些相象

as则侧重于同一性,意味着A B两者属于同一类或完全相似.

例如:He speaks English as an Englishman.(=as well as an English.) 表示讲得一样好

很早的时候，like是形容词，表示相象、相同、类似等意；as是连接词。 Samy and Sammy are very like. Samy和Sammy长得很像。

Paul behaved as a child（does）．保罗的举止像个小孩。（句子有省略） 后来，like作为介词使用，表示像…一样；as也可以作为介词使用了。 Paul behaved like a child．保罗的举止像个小孩。（句子没有省略） 再比较：

Let me speak to you as a father．让我以父亲的地位对你说说。（=I am your father and I am speaking to you in that character）

Let me speak to you like a father．让我像你父亲那样对你说说。（= I am

not your father but I am speaking to you in the way your father might） 再后来，有些语法学家把以往like不允许作连词使用的规则也改了，用来代替引导方式状语从句的as。

I can't sing like I used to do．我不能像过去那样地唱了。（指唱的音色）

He writes just like his brother did when he was young．他写字的手法和他兄弟年轻时写的差不离。（指书法的风格和字型） 即使如此，like和as有时还是有些区别的。试比较：

The prisoner was hanged like a murderer．这个囚徒像杀人犯那样被处以绞刑（=…as if he were a murderer）。

The prisoner was hanged as a murderer．这个犯人作为杀人犯被处以绞刑。（这个犯人就是杀人犯） 状语从句 一 定义：

A状语主要是用来修饰动词和形容词的，以表明动作发生或状态存在的时间，地点，原因，等。

1 Ten years ago, She began to live in Dalian. 时间状语修饰began 2 The boy was praised for his bravery. 原因状语修饰was praised B 状语从句就是用一个句子来代替上面的时间状语和原因状语。 1 Ten years ago, she began to live in Dalian.
