: Although we frequently use "like" in such sentences, the
grammatically correct word is "as" or "as if". <br>
<br>
In this case, I would say, "The officer doesn't act as I would expect
an officer to act".
answers4: Barbara is right. The correct answer is "as". Let me explain
WHY though for you. <br>
<br>
When using as, in this case, it is comparable to replacing it with the
phrase "in the manner". <br>
<br>
Thus, the sentence would read: <br>
"The officer doesn't act in the manner I'd expect an officer to act." <br>
<br>
Another reason it would be "as" is because the word "as" would then be
followed by a clause (a subject and a verb). This is ALWAYS the case
when using "as". <br>
In your example, the clause follows with the subject (the officer) and
the verb (act). <br>
<br>
When using like, it would always be followed with a noun or noun phrase. <br>
For example: My brother is quick like a fox. <br>
Here, the noun that followed "like" would be a fox. <br>
<br>
I hope this makes sense. <br>
