MISTAKE.
W E C A N S AY:
IN ENGLISH
HOW DOES IT LOOK?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

BUT WE CAN'T SAY:
HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE, WE USUALLY USE 'WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?' IF WE WANT A DESCRIPTION.

THIS IS OFTEN WHEN WE DON'T KNOW THE PERSON.

A: WHAT DOES YOUR BOSS LOOK LIKE?

B: SHE IS TALL, WITH SHORT BROWN HAIR AND SHE WEARS GLASSES
WHEN WE ARE THINKING ABOUT IF SOMEONE IS BEAUTIFUL OR
NOT, OR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR
FACE, WE USUALLY USE …
'HOW DOES SHE LOOK?’.
IN THIS CASE, WE USUALLY KNOW THE PERSON. WE DON'T
NEED TO HEAR A DESCRIPTION.
We can also use 'how does it look?' for objects
or places, especially when there has been a
change.
•I've just had a haircut. How do I look?
•How did Lucy look in her new dress?
•How did he look when he saw the mouse?
•We painted the kitchen. How does it look? Do you like it?
 Let's review! Choose 'what ... look like?' or 'how ... look?'

1. I don't know your brother. ___________ does he __________?

2. I just got a new dress. _____________ do I ________________?
3. We think we saw your new flatmate. _______ does she _________?
Does she have long hair?
