look like someone or something
To look like someone or something.
वापर नमुना:
to resemble [someone/something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners often say *"resemble to"* or *"resemble with"*. The verb **resemble** takes no preposition: say **"She resembles her mother"**, not *"She resembles to her mother"*. Another mistake is using the -ing form for appearance: we normally say **"He resembles his father"**, not *"He is resembling his father"*.

be similar in nature or style
To be like someone or something in the way it acts, is made, or is organized.
वापर नमुना:
to resemble [something] in [way/aspect]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes think **resemble** can only be used for physical looks. It is also correct for character, style, or structure, as in **"Their system resembles a school"**. The grammar is the same as for appearance: do not add a preposition (*not* *"resembles to"*).
समानार्थी शब्द
be similar to (Very close in meaning but slightly more general and less formal; can refer to any type of similarity.)
