Can you give us some example sentences, as it's not possible to give comprehensive "rules".

 

[hitinvo]

She is late as usual.
Can i use like in this sentence?

 

[hitinvo]

?

 

[emsr2d2]

She is late, as usual.
Can i use like in this sentence?

In this context, no, although you will hear people say "She's late, like she always is!"

Note that in your sentence, a comma is required after "late".

 

[corum]

In 'late as usual', 'as' function as an adverb.
The problem with 'late like usual' is that traditionally, like is considered a preposition. Prepositions do not take adjectives as their complements.
