[The answer] What’s the difference between ‘as the manager’ and ‘like the manager’ in both sentences?

Some time ago, I asked you about the difference between ‘as the manager’ and ‘like the manager’, remember? Well, here’s the answer. (Read it here)

I decided to provide you guys with the answer today (February 29, 2016, a especial date). I hope it does not take me four years to write again on the blog!




Sue Casey is the manager of a company. As the manage, she has to make many important decisions.

‘As the manage’, in this case, means ‘in her position as the manager’.

Mary Stone is the assistant manager, like the manager (Sue Casey), she also has to make important decisions.

‘Like the manage’, in this case, means ‘similar to the manager’.

That’s it! see you guys around.
