Example sentences using "More"
Q:
Please show me example sentences with It’s more like .
A:
You can also use "(subject) more like" the same way even if you don't use "it".
"He's more like his mother than his father."
"She's more like a tyrant than a teacher."
"You're more like me than you think"
"That's more like a slap than a pat!"
You could respond to "He's a nice guy" with "He's more like an angel!" to exaggerate how nice you are saying he is.
Or respond to "He's a nice guy" with "He's more like a demon." if you disagree, and think he's actually very mean.
When used as a response, you can also skip the subject because it's inferred from the first statement.
So when responding to "It's raining!"
Instead of "It's more like storming!" it would be common to just say "More like storming!"
You could respond to the question "Is he nice?" with "More like fake." to mean you think he just pretends to be nice so that people like him.
In English we use a lot of referred/inferred/implied subjects when speaking. If the subject of a sentence has already been said in an earlier sentence, and everyone knows what it is, it can sound unnatural to repeat it.
