 Hi, this is Marc, I'm doing great, and you? I saw spiders, scorpions, and like creatures at the zoo. Like us not, he'll change his opinion. They complained about the room, the service, and the like. To speak English like he does needs a lot of commitment. What would you like for dinner? A nice pizza. What's the weather like today? It's cold and windy. My dog is like a small kid, he's always having tantrums. In this lesson, we're going to look at the word like. So stay tuned. Just to tell you, like can be an adjective, a verb, a noun, a conjunction, a preposition, etc. It can be used in many ways. But let's take a look at the first way to use like. As an adjective means identical or similar. I saw spiders, scorpions, and like creatures at the zoo. As you may see, the example, like creatures, like there is an adjective, so we use it as an adjective. Second usage, as an adverb. As an adverb, like means nearly, probably, approximately. Like us not, he'll change his opinion. In this case, like means probably. Like us not, he'll change his opinion. Or another example, he charged like 50 euros for his services. In this case, like is nearly, approximately, 50 euros for his services. Like can also be a noun. As a noun, it means one similar to another. So the example, they complained about the room, the service, and the like. When we use like as a noun, we add the article the. The like, they complained about the room, the service, and the like. Like I said, like can be also a conjunction. It means as or in the same way. To speak English like he does, needs a lot of commitment. To speak English like he does, needs a lot of commitment. So like here is a conjunction. There is a lesson on conjunctions and if you want to watch that lesson, you may click here. Now you may all know that like is a verb. So this is what we usually use it as the most. So like liked liked, the pronunciation is liked liked. Any means prefer or find pleasant or attractive. Just like my example. What would you like for dinner? What would you like for dinner? I'm asking, right? What would you like? What would you prefer for dinner? A nice pizza. A nice pizza would be good, for example. A nice pizza would be good. So what would you like for dinner? Another example. I like running and swimming at the weekend. So I like plus ing, right? Because we need another verb with ing. So like running and swimming at the weekend. If you want to watch a lesson on verbs like like, love, hate, prefer, you may click here. Now, like can also be a preposition and this is a problem for some students. What's the weather like? So here I asked, what's like? What's the weather like? So in this case, like means assessing the characteristics of. Another question in this case with what like? What were you like when you were a kid? What were you like when you were a kid? And the answer could be nasty and shy. We use also like for comparisons or to express similarity. Like my example, my dog is like a small kid. So we make a comparison. In this case, I used the verb to be, be plus like. But we can also use other verbs like think, for example. Like my example, she thinks like me. She thinks like who, like me. So she thinks like me. There could be a formula there. Like plus somebody or something to make comparisons, right? Instead if you use like with look, it changes meaning. Let's look at my example. My brother looks like Keanu Reeves. It's not true. My brother looks like Keanu Reeves. So looks like here is similar or resembles Keanu Reeves. Or it looks like it's going to snow soon. It looks like it seems here. Looks like it seems it's going to snow soon. The final point that I want to mention about like is that in everyday informal English, so more slang than anything else, like is used as an idiom. For example, I was like, what are you doing to me? So in this case, we have like to mean saying. I was saying or I was like, what are you doing to me? Let's look at another example. You need to apply glue like so. In this case, it means in this manner. So you need to apply glue like so in this manner. Well, that's it for today.
