The word 'like' in conversation. It's like 🤩!

Learn some different ways we use the word 'like' in English conversation and informal spoken English.

We'll show you how we use the word 'like' in action in a conversation with Super Agent Awesome.

One use that's common with young speakers is the quotative like. That's when we use 'like' instead of says or thinks to report someone's words or thoughts.

Some people complain that the word like is used too much by young people and it's sloppy English. But it isn't just youthful slang and there are useful functions that 'like' performs.

We look at how 'like' can signal approximation or exaggeration, how we use like as a discourse marker and also how it can be combined with a dramatic face to describe someone's feelings.
