(вопросительные предложения (3)

Julia is talking to someone.

Who?

Who is Julia talking to?

Questions (Who … ? / What… ? / Where … ? / Which … ?) often end with a preposition (to/for/about/with etc.):

- ‘I'm thinking.’ ‘What are you thinking about?’
- ‘I'm afraid.’ ‘Why? What are you afraid of?’
- ‘Where is your friend from?’ ‘She's from Germany.’
- ‘Who does this book belong to?’ ‘It's mine.’
- ‘Who did she go on holiday with?’ ‘With her parents.’
- ‘What does he look like?’ ‘He's got a beard and wears glasses.’
- ‘This book is very good.’ ‘Is it? What is it about?’
- ‘Tom's father is in hospital.’ ‘Which hospital is he in?’

What (is/are/was/were) … like?

‘What is it like?’ = Tell me something about it; is it good or bad, big or small, old or new? etc.

When we say ‘What … like?’, like is a preposition. It is not the verb like (Do you like music? etc.).

- A: I went to the new restaurant last night.
  B: Oh, did you? What's it like? Good?
  A: Yes, excellent.
- A: What's your new teacher like?
  B: She's very good. We learn a lot.
- A: I met Linda's parents yesterday.
  B: Oh, what are they like?
  A: They're very friendly.
- A: What was the weather like when you were on holiday?
  B: Very nice.
