It's Like, You Know. Is an American sitcom television series broadcast by ABC.It starred Steven Eckholdt, Chris Eigeman, Evan Handler, A. Langer, and Jennifer Grey, and depicted life in Los Angeles as viewed through the eyes of Eigeman's character, a diehard New Yorker named Arthur Garment. Funny that people land here for the past 6 years. The weird thing is that my sister and I look a lot alike depending on who you ask but she never really gets this comment. When I was single guys would usually say I looked like an actress. Lots of people think I look like Reese Witherspoon even though I have dark hair.
When we describe people (or things), we can use the phrases “look”, “be like” and “look like”.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go Take a look in the five-and-ten Glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in ev'ry store But the prettiest sight to see Is the holly that will be On your own front door A pair of hopalong boots and a trumpet that toots. You don't swing it like you used to, man Yet I have to give you credit for my start And your tattoos on the outside For just like you I made myself a work of art I'll never hide; I can't, I'm too Shiny Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough Strut my stuff; my stuff is so Shiny Send your armies but they'll never be enough My shell's too tough. 'The 50-30-20 rule is the division of your leisure time: No more than 50 percent with your significant other, 30 percent with friends and family and 20 percent me time,' Says Wendy Atterberry.
Look
Follow the verb “look” with an adjective to describe someone’s emotion or state:
He looks happy.
She looks excited.
You look tired.
Remember to use do / does; don’t and doesn’t for negatives and questions.
You don’t look very happy.
Does he look sad, in your opinion?
You can also use “look” in the present continuous tense to talk about someone’s health:
“You’re looking good!” (= You’re in good shape!)
“He’s looking ill.” (= He appears ill.)
Be like
We use “be like” to talk about similarities (both physical and in character).
(Remember to change “be” to the correct form of the verb:
I’m like my sister.
David is like his father.
She’s like her mother.
Who are you like?
My sister and I aren’t like anyone else in our family.
You can also vary “be like” with other describing words:
He’s a lot like … (his brother)
He’s really like … (his brother)
He’s very like … (his brother)
He’s just like … (his brother)
He’s a bit like … (his brother)
He’s quite like … (his brother)
Remember to use the verb “to be” as the auxiliary for questions and negatives:
He isn’t like his mother at all!
Is he like his sister?
We can also use “be like” to ask for a description of places and things.
– I saw the new office building today.
– What’s it like? (= What is it like?)
– It’s beautiful!
– I saw the new Brad Pitt film last night.
– What was it like?
– Pretty good! He’s great in it.
Look like
Use “look like” to talk about a person’s physical similarity with another person.
I look like my mother.
You look like your sister.
He looks like his grandfather.
(Remember, with the verb “look” in the present simple tense, you need do / does; don’t / doesn’t to make questions and negatives.)
Do you look like your sister or your brother?
Does he look like his mother?
They don’t look like their parents.
Asking questions
Be careful with these questions
What is he like? = asks about personality
– What is he like?
– He’s nice. He’s friendly and chatty.
Who is he like? = asks about physical similarity or similar character to another person
– Who is he like?
– He’s quite like his mother. They both have brown eyes.
– He’s like his father. They’re both quite ambitious.
What does he look like? = asks for a physical description
