Some English vocabularies has different uses even though they

in this topic i'll try to provide some of the differences between similar vocabularies

ما الفرق بين especially و specially

ESPECIALLY

You use especially to emphasize that what you are saying applies more to one person, thing, or area than to any others.

مثال

I love all sports, especially Tennis.
أحب كافة الألعاب الريائية خاصة كرة المضرب

SPECIALLY
If something has been done specially for a particular person or purpose, it has been done only for that person or purpose.

This table has been designed specially for you.
هذه الطاولة صُنعت خصيصا لك

إذن كلمة Especailly نستخدمها عندما ننتقل من العام إلى الخاص، فمثلا انتقلنا في المثال الأول من المعنى العام (الألعاب الرياضية) إلى الخاص (لعبة كرة المضرب)

أما specially فنستخدمه عندما نقول أن شيئا ما يخص شخصا ما وأنها خصيصا له. فالطاولة لم تصمم للجميع بل صممت خصيصا لشخص ما.

"Like" vs "As"

Like - used to compare two nouns.

e.g

Incorrect - Gita and Sita, as their mother Reema, are extremely smart.
Correct - Gita and Sita, like their mother Reema, are extremely smart.

As - used to compare two clauses. (A clause is a phrase that includes a verb).

Incorrect - Just like swimming is good exercise, running is a way to burn calories.
Correct - Just as swimming is good exercise, running is a way to burn calories.

Note : Do not use Like when you mean for example.
