Lopcuk  +  203729 Mon, 06 Mar 06 04:30 PM hello dear friends. I have a question. (as you see, my English isn't very good) "what is the weather like" what is the "like"s duty in this sentence? Is it adjective, adverb or noun? I hope you can help me... with best wishes... Lopcuk Joined on Sun, Feb 19 2006 Turkey New Member 17 Nouns, Verbs, Adverbs

But I think the longer form of the answer, although we never actually say it, would be The weather is like rain. When I look at it this way, I'd say that like is an adjective.
