parioli You sound (1) "just like us", (2) "Just like we do"
Instinctively I feel (1) is incorrect but sounds better, (2) is correct but ponderous.
Grateful for enlightenment.

Teacher Re: parioli You sound just like we sound.
You sound just like we do.
I don't feel that the sentence is dull, laborious, or excessively solemn.
