1. What’s he like now 他现在是什么样？(教材P25)

也可用于提问人的相貌。
e.g. —What’s Alice like 艾丽斯是什么样的人？
—She is quiet and a little shy. 她很文静，有点害羞。
What does sb. look like 意为“……长得什么样？”用于提问人的长相、外貌。
e.g. —What does Tom look like 汤姆长什么样？

Language Points

（性格上像他们的爸爸）
② look like 意为“看起来像……”，强调外观上像。
He looks like his father. 他看起来像他的父亲。

2. It’s been three years since we last saw our primary school
classmates. 自从我们上次见到我们的小学同学以来，已经三 年了。（教材第26页）
“It’s been + 一段时间 + since + 从句”意为“自从……以来已经有

e.g. It has been five years since I began to learn English.
=It’s five years since I began to learn English. 自从我开始学英语 已经有5年的时间了。
since 此处用作连词，意为“自从，自……以来”。主句常用完成时，且动词需要用延续性动词。since 后接从句，该从句用一般过去时态。
e.g. She has taught us English since I came to this school. 自从我来到这所学校她就教我们英语。
