  • Understanding Grammar - As v Like
    In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack and Rich talk about two words that are often very confusing: 'as' and 'like'. These two words can sometimes be used in the same way but at other times have very different meanings. Rich and Jack talk about football and travelling and use lots of phrases with 'as' and 'like' to help you with understanding. Your task this week is to complete five sentences with 'as' and 'like' so they are true for you. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess. Remember we have lots of activities for you to check your understanding further down the page. Enjoy!
