TO TAKE AFTER

Hello again and welcome to the last Daily Vitamin lesson of the week. 

Today's expression is: the phrasal verb to take after somebody.

It means: to look or behave like an older family member.

Example 1:
He takes after his father; he looks and acts just like him.

Example 2:
She really takes after her mother. She looks like her and has the same sharp humour as her mother did.  

We'll be back on Monday with a lesson about the very a versatile English word: DEAL

To get some writing practice in English, I encourage you to create your own sentence with today's expression. You can post your sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your sentence ASAP.

Enjoy the rest of your day and have an excellent weekend!

All the best!
