Learners sometimes use 'likewise' like the preposition 'like' and say *'I am likewise him'* instead of 'I am like him' or 'I feel the same way.' 'Likewise' usually modifies a verb or whole clause, not a noun. It is more natural to say 'He acted likewise' or 'She thinks likewise' than *'a likewise person.'*

Learners sometimes overuse 'likewise' in casual speech where 'also' or 'too' would sound more natural, for example saying *'I likewise like coffee'* in a friendly chat. This is correct but sounds quite formal. In everyday conversation, 'I also like coffee' or 'Me too' is more typical. 'Likewise' is especially common at the start of a sentence in writing: 'Likewise, the second study shows similar results.'
Sens
also; in addition
Collocations
Likewise, [name] [verb]
|and likewise
|but likewise
|was likewise
|is likewise true
|applies likewise
Synonymes
also (More common and less formal; can usually replace 'likewise' in everyday speech, but without the same feeling of drawing a close parallel.)
Antonymes
instead (Signals an alternative or contrast rather than an additional, similar point, which is the opposite discourse function of 'likewise' here.)

Learners sometimes say *'Likewise you'* or *'Me likewise'* instead of just 'Likewise.' The natural answer is simply 'Likewise.'
