Like = 'similar to', 'the same as'. You cannot use as in this way:
• What a beautiful house! It's like a palace. (not as a palace)
• 'What does Sandra do?' 'She's a teacher, like me.' (not as me)
• Be careful! The floor has been polished. It's like walking on ice. (not as walking)
• It's raining again. I hate weather like this. (not as this)
In these sentences, like is a preposition. So it is followed by a noun (like a palace), a pronoun (like me / like this) or -ing (like walking).
You can also say '... like (somebody/something) doing something':
• 'What's that noise?' 'It sounds like a baby crying.'

Sometimes like = for example:
• Some sports, like motor-racing, can be dangerous.
You can also use such as (= for example):
• Some sports, such as motor-racing, can be dangerous.

As = in the same way as, or in the same condition as. We use as before subject + verb:
• I didn't move anything. I left everything as it was.
• You should have done it as I showed you.
Like is also possible in informal spoken English:
• I left everything like it was.
Compare as and like:
• You should have done it as I showed you. (or like I showed you)
• You should have done it like this. (not as this)
Note that we say as usual / as always:
• You're late as usual.
• As always, Nick was the first to complain.

• Helen sounded as if she had a cold, didn't she?
• I've just come back from holiday, but I feel very tired. I don't feel as if I've just had a holiday.
You can use as though in all these examples:

Compare:

Some more examples of while:

• I'll be working until 11.30. (so I'll stop working at 11.30)	• I'll have finished my work by 11.30. (= I'll finish my work not later than 11.30.)
