the difference of like and alike

[Tdol]

Similar implies that they are not the same, so it can't cover both meanings.

Remember that like and alike have the same meaning, but like is used between the two nouns compared, and alike is used after the two nouns or a plural noun.

Please follow the examples:

Like
1. This coat is like that coat

Alike
1. This coat and that one are alike

Hope, this will solve your issue.

Regards,

Samir
