This lesson looks clear. It looks like a clear lesson. It looks as if(though) I understood this topic. 'look like' and 'look as if' looked alike for me before the lesson.
Hi Adam, that's a great lesson. I have a request for you: could you go over the difference between to as preposition and to as part of the infinitive. Thanks a lot.
Hi Adam , I,m from Brazil and I learned so much with your lessons , I would like a special request about verb (take) as soon as possible , talk to you later
Not to confuse you all even more but there is another meaning to the verb "to look" besides "resembling." "To look" also means "to see" or "to glance at." For example, "Look over there!' "Don't look at me." These have to do with 'seeing.' I think the above usage of "look" is more common with native English speakers in his examples except for the examples I gave. Just putting in my two cents. Great lessons!
Hi, I use 'it looks as if' as a possibility, but I use 'looks as though', when I observe something to be true that has happened /occured, e.g. It looks as though it rained during the night'. Great videos btw, thankyou
Hi Adam first of all i'd like to thank you for your hard work in order to make us understand English more knowledge but i'm sort of confused about the using of the must and may and might with present perfect so please i'd appreciate if you did a lesson about them
Good evening Adam Thank you for your great explanation But still have s question If we say “it looks like it is going to rain” we refer to something that WILL happen or not, but if we say “it looks like rain” we refer to resemblance , don’t we???? It appears so that we change the meaning , in first case we talk about an action , and in the second variant we talk about something = subject, isn’t it?
That's really interesting. But if you get to British Council Org website to the grammar section , there are exercises on this topic: look and look like. They use the variant after look like subject+verb. E.g. It looks like she is ready for filming/ She looks like she`s worried about something. According to them it's absolutely correct.
hi, teacher adam. your class is very helpful for me absolutely, i will keep going to lean your class and make my skill up :-)there is no doubt to trust you. thank you so much^^
Is it grammatically correct if I use "as if" as a more formal alternative of 'like'? In the video, you provided us an example of subjunctive tone, what about the following 2 examples? Are they correct? 1. I feel as if half myself without him. 2. It doesn't look as if the economy will recover soon. Thanks very much in advance.
"I feel as if I am half of myself without him." Note the words I added. This is the way a native speaker would say that, although for many the word "of" would be optional. Either way would be OK and understood perfectly. Sentence number 2 is perfect as written.
Hi Adam. As usual, your explanation is very enlightening but, I would like to ask you something in relation to "It looks like": you said that it is Verb + Preposition, so, should it not be "It looks like raining" since the verb following a preposition should be in ing form? Thank you so much and a big CIAO from an Italian guy.
I thought we could use were for you, we, they and was/were (both are correct) for I, he, she, it. It concerns both as if and as though construction. But you said that it is more correct for say were to as if and was for as though with I, you, he and so on. What do you think about it? I have one more question. Are you absolutely sure that to look like can't be followed by a verb in unreal past form? I was thought like that at school and on a course. Thanks a lot for yourr aswer - Jacob
Hi. I'm not specialist in English but I know the answer about "I were". In that context "I were" is right because the verb is a "Subjunctive Mode", in other words, it's when is talking about something that doesn't exist, irreal, wish, possibilite, etc. In this case, it's always "were" whatever the subject. Look at this example: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=564280070250505&set=a.154930527852130.35140.130664113612105&type=1 I hope it was helpful...
Hi Adam, thanks for your videos, there are very usefull!! I need to practice my speaking, so I would like to speak with you or someone who want to practice. I hope hear from you soon.
Hello Adam, I like of all lessons and I watching each new video in your Channel. I have a question for you. How the natives english speakers are alphabetized in the USA ? Do they learn syllables or learn words first of all ? Because I'm native portuguese speaker and I'm learning english right now and I have that doubt. Hugs Teacher.
Hi, Adam good video, I just have a doubt: can we use the phrase: "as if" with the verb "to be" in the Present Tense?, because I've read and heard native speakers say: "it looks as if she KNOWS...." or "I feel as if I HAVE...", is that correct?
Hello, if you applied: ''look, as if it was going to rain''(past tense???) then, so you have to say: 'look, as if it is going to rain''(for present tense?)
In other videos, I saw teachers using " it looks as if it is going to rain." You chose " it looks as if it was/ were going to rain. I understand that "if" is conditional n we use were after it. But why others are not using it?
Yes------It seems it is going to rain. Note the word "it." It looks like it is going to rain. Or-----It looks like rain. You will hear all of them, although the last two are more common.
Nga Vũ no . It has to follow with with a clause if using the expression ‘’ look as though or look as if ‘’. You can use it to follow a noun only with ‘’look like’’. Hope I made it clearer to you
@Arnau Blanco He said that look is a verb and like is a preposition introducing comparison, not that a preposition follows this formation. After look (use an adjective) He looks sad/happy/worried. After look like (use a noun) He looks like me/his father. The problem is: it looks like it's going to rain - it is correct in spoken English. I have to explain to my students that they have to achieve a good score on the test and do as the textbooks say, while the reality is different and I confuse them this way :D
is there any vid in the same way about love, hate and other feelings. there was a rule wich i can't remember that says that i can't say word love in continious

Not to confuse you all even more but there is another meaning to the verb "to look" besides "resembling."

If we say “it looks like it is going to rain” we refer to something that WILL happen or not, but if we say “it looks like rain” we refer to resemblance , don’t we????
It appears so that we change the meaning , in first case we talk about an action , and in the second variant we talk about something = subject, isn’t it?

thanks Adam plz i want to know how to extract values from scientific texts and grammar
You are amazing
Great and perceptive

It looks like it is raining-------if it is raining at that moment.
It looks like rain------if it is not raining but appears as if it will.
I thought we could use were for you, we, they and was/were (both are correct) for I, he, she, it. It concerns both as if and as though construction.
But you said that it is more correct for say were to as if and was for as though with I, you, he and so on.
What do you think about it?
I have one more question. Are you absolutely sure that to look like can't be followed by a verb in unreal past form?
I was thought like that at school and on a course.

4:02 why is it "were"? It isn't must be "was"?
sei mio amire
pretty nice clips. it really helps./
What is the difference between using look and seem? Can I use, e.g It seems is going to rain?
Yes------It seems it is going to rain. Note the word "it."
It looks like it is going to rain. Or-----It looks like rain.
You will hear all of them, although the last two are more common.
Nice!
As the concept of "look" is to appear in a certain way, can I use them interchangeably?
Hello Adan, ¿Can you help me? ¿ Wen i can use these words?
With
Each
which and
Such
Please.
Thanks
THE BEST!!!
Teacher,
Can I we use a noun after “look as if”?
Nga Vũ no . It has to follow with with a clause if using the expression ‘’ look as though or look as if ‘’. You can use it to follow a noun only with ‘’look like’’. Hope I made it clearer to you
nunu
You said that "look like" must have a preposition after it but what about "You look like your father"? Isn't it right, instead?
+Arnau Blanco "You look like your father." That's correct and understood by native English speakers.
@Arnau Blanco
He said that look is a verb and like is a preposition introducing comparison, not that a preposition follows this formation.
After look (use an adjective) He looks sad/happy/worried. After look like (use a noun) He looks like me/his father.
The problem is: it looks like it's going to rain - it is correct in spoken English. I have to explain to my students that they have to achieve a good score on the test and do as the textbooks say, while the reality is different and I confuse them this way :D
In look like, like is the preposition
is there any vid in the same way about love, hate and other feelings. there was a rule wich i can't remember that says that i can't say word love in continious
Why its look like rain we usually use ing adter preposition you said that in the look like like is preposition
