While studying the like vs as use for comparisons i came across an interesting case.
#1 Sentence: Mr X teaches like Mr Y
Now from what i know, like is used only in a like+noun form. But in this sentence, isn't the act of teaching being compared? Or is it the style of teaching. Is the noun the teaching style?
What would be wrong with Mr X teaches as Mr Y does?
#2 Sentence: Like Mr X, Mr Y teaches.
Is this correct from a GMAT SC standpoint? Is the noun the profession, making the use of like justifiable.
Please help egmat

#1 Sentence: Mr X teaches like Mr Y
Mr X teaches as Mr Y does?
Both the above are correct and convey same meaning: both X and Y teach very similarly (their teaching methodology is similar)#1 Sentence: Mr X teaches like Mr Y
Mr X teaches as Mr Y does?
Quote:
#2 Sentence: Like Mr X, Mr Y teaches.
This sentence is also correct, though the meaning is different. It basically just conveys and X and Y both teach, but does not portray that they teach similarly.p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses as vs like, its application and examples in significant detail. If you or someone is interested, PM me your email-id; I can mail the corresponding section.
