    Hi, Tim.
    It’s funny that when we speak this verb in Portuguese (puxar a alguém), we always say it in the past. If we speak it in the present, as we speak in English, it doesn’t sound natural.
    Thanks for the tips.

      That’s true, Sylvio. I was noticing that as I recorded this episode.

    Hey buddy,
    How are you doing?
    
    Doing well, and yourself?
    
    I’m OK. Just a little bit concerned because my teenager son is becoming very stubborn. He doesn’t listen to me anymore.
    
    Yep, I know what you mean. To be honest, I’ve realized that some months ago and I guess he takes after you! I remember how you used to behave when you were a teen!

Hi Tim, I don’t think that I take after my parents, but my sister take after our mother.

Can I use look like instead take after?

  Hi, Denilson. You can use “look like”, but then you are talking exclusively about appearances. You can “take after” someone in other ways, not only their looks.
