Like и as переводятся одинаково - "как", но
like = как, по сравнению с чем, кем-л., а
as = как, в качестве кого-л.
Like употребляeтся, когда мы сравниваем что-то: одну вещь с другой, одного человека с другим.

1. Like = похожий на что-то, такой же...

- The dog is very intelligent. It is like a human..

- It's raining again. I hate weather like this..

Like - предлог. За ним следует существительное, местоимение или -ing.

Можно также сказать like (someone/something) -ing:

- It sound like a baby crying.

2. После as должна употребляться конструкция "Подлежащее + сказуемое":

- I'll do it as you told me. - Я сделаю, как вы сказали.

Однако, мы употребляем such as (= такие как) без глагола: - Some sports, such as motor-racing, can be dangerous.

As usual - обычно:

- You're late as usual.

3. Иногда as может быть предлогом. В этом случае после него может стоять существительное. Но в этом случае as имеет значение отличное от like:

- He has finished his career as a sportsman. - Как спортсмен, он закончил свою карьеру.

Мы употребляем like при сравнении двух предметов (like=как),
а as + существительное означает "в качестве кого-л." :

- A few years ago I worked as a bus driver. (Я работал шофером автобуса. )

- Everyone is ill at home. Our house is like a hospital. (Наш дом как больница.)
