"Shevouth time is the season for many of the happiest celebrations in Jewish life. And at some point during the festivities...SOMETHING WONDERFUL HAPPENS. The music stops, then it starts again. The beat is faster, exciting. A circle forms and spirits soar into the joyous, lively world of the irresistible hora!

And certainly joy abounds in smoking when your cigarette is Winston, America's best-selling filter cigarette. The special pleasure begins up fron, ahead of the pure white, modern filter. That's where only winston puts filter blend tobaccos specially selected and specially processed for the best taste in filter smoking. Try Winston. Winston tastes good--like a cigarette should!"

1. Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. (Remember that famous ad jingle?)
2. He spends money like there is no tomorrow.
3. He lied on the witness stand, like one would expect a guilty person to do.
4. My cousin looks like Greta Garbo.
5. Robert likes to run his company as though he were a dictator.

Only sentences 4 and 5 correctly employ the word "like."

Remember these two rules when considering the use of "like":
Rule 1: "Like" can be either a verb or a preposition but not a conjunction. Thus, we should not use it before a subject-verb combination (a clause).
