LIKE NOTHING WRONG

Dear Teachers,

1. Although outside he hehaves like nothing wrong, but deep down inside he feels very nervously.

- Is this natural to say?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

Hi Sn, It's natural enough, except that you don't need two conjunctions to connect two clauses; and verbs of sense (like feels and seems and smells) act like verbs of being, and take adjectives rather than adverbs. Although outside he behaves like nothing is wrong, deep down inside he feels very nervous. OR Outside he behaves like nothing is wrong, but deep down inside he feels very nervous.
