Is the following sentence correct?
My father does (=imitates) Robert De Niro very well.
If so, are there other ways to say this?
Thank you.
Hello teal lime, Yes, your sentence is okay with either "does" or "imitates". You can also say: My father mimics Robert De Niro very well. But if you add "ing" or "ed" to the verb, please do it as follows: "mimicking" present participle "mimicked" past tense and past participle You need to add the letter "k" first.
