from our website.
Rule #2a
The preposition like means "similar to" or
"similarly to," should be followed by an
object of the preposition
Rule #2b
Instead of like, use as, as if, as though,
or the way when following a comparison
with a subject and verb.
Rule #2c
Do not use as unless there is a verb
involved.
A free online
preposition checker is
of good use.

place of the helping verb have.
