| B: No. Actually, it is cheaper. A: Sounds like fine. How much does it cost for the two of us? B: It will come to something around $900. What is the meaning of "sounds like fine"? What does "something" mean here? Thanks |

| [1] "Sounds ok to me" - Would probably have said "Sounds fine" rather than "Sounds like...." [2] "Something around...." = Approximately |

| 'Sounds like' requires a noun.: sounds like hard work, sounds like thunder, sounds like someone I know.... People who (mistakenly) say 'Sounds like fine' have probably either misheard - or copied someone else who has misheard - something like this. Where did you go at the weekend? We went to the new theme park - a whole crowd of us. Sounds like fun. b |
