Hello!
The general grammar rule, when we refer to similarity, is: "like+noun" and "as+clause".
Why then, "This year, as last year, there will be no bonus", is correct? "Year" is a noun and it should be used with like?!
And another question. When I want to give an example, "such as" is the same as "like"? For example: "I like sports such as/ like basketball and tennis".
