Grammar
Look/Seem
Hello Teachers
I read that we can use 'seem' in place of 'look'. Are these sentences same in the meaning?
For example:
He looks nice.
He seems nice.
He doesn't look nice.
He doesn't seem nice.
Does he look nice?
Does he seem nice?
Doesn't he look nice?
Doesn't he seem nice?
Why does he look nice?
Why does he seem nice?
