Частая ошибка:
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"*.
