English Lessons - What's it like?

What's it Like ?

1. We use a form of the question What's it like? If we want to hear a description or opinion of something/somebody. The answer to this question will often contain adjectives.

• What's she like?                                  She's an interesting person and she's very intelligent.
• What are your neighbours like?         They're OK. They're polite but they're not very friendly.

2. The question is formed with what + be + subject + like? The word like doesn't change - it is quite different from the verb like.

• What's the wather like today?
• What are those cakes like?
• What was the film like last night?
• Did you meet Ali's cousins? What were they like?
