I �m correcting my students � compositions and I �m not sure about some sentences they wrote.
Do we say: "He lives on the Planet Earth like us" or "He lives on Planet Earth as we do"
Can we say "to do an event"?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dina,
I would say "like us" & "to host/hold an event". |

Both are correct. They have slightly different meanings though.
like us - would imply that he lives here on Earth with us just as another person or animal might.
like we do - would imply that he lives on Earth "exactly" as a human does. He eats with a fork and knife, sleeps in bed, etc.
Or at least that is what it implies to me.
