 THIS-THAT THESE –THOSE.
Grammar
The demonstrative determiners are used mostly to specify or point
out people, animals or things depending on their proximity or
distance taking into account the position of the speaker:

A distinction must be made between demonstrative adjectives (or

demonstrative determiners) and demonstrative pronouns (or
independent demonstratives).
A demonstrative adjective modifies a noun:
 This apple is good. I like those houses. (This modifies 'apple'
and those modifies 'houses')
A demonstrative pronoun stands on its own, replacing rather than
modifying a noun:
 This is good. I like those. (This and those don't modify any
nouns they stand alone and replace other nouns)

Yes or not questions.

Examples

 LIKE VS LOOK LIKE VS BE LIKE

Like can be used as a verb to talk about tastes and preferences:

I like chocolate.
I like living in the city.

If a verb is used after like it can take the –ing form or the infinitive
with to with very little difference in meaning:
I like cooking. I like to cook.

Like can be used as a preposition with look and be to talk about

appearance and to ask for descriptions:
So tell me, what does Sarah's new boyfriend look like?
He's tall, dark and handsome. He looks a lot like some Hollywood
movie star.

Be like is used to ask for and give general descriptions:

What's Sarah like? She’s great. She’s funny and smart.
What's the weather like in your city? Not very nice; it's always
raining.
