[Grammar] It sounds like

[Snappy]

I found the following passage on the Internet.
"Money. Fame. Excitement. It sounds like celebrities have the perfect life."

What does "It" refer to?
Is it possible to take that "Money. Fame. Excitement. Any of these keywords sounds like celebrities have the perfect life"?

It's a dummy pronoun that doesn't refer to anything.

When you find something on the internet that you decide to ask us about, Snappy, please give us a link to it, or at least tell us who wrote it and the context in which it was written.

By clicking the

icon under your Posts tally, I see that after 373 posts you haven't clicked 'Thank' at all, though you have clicked 'Like' 126 times.

Clicking 'Thank' saves you the trouble of writing a new post like the one I've just deleted.

 

[Phaedrus]

It's a dummy pronoun that doesn't refer to anything.

It may be worth noting that people commonly drop the subject of such sentences in informal English.

On the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), there are 3990 sentences that begin with "Sounds like."

I found the following passage on the Internet:

"Money. Fame. Excitement. It sounds like celebrities have the perfect life."

What does "It" refer to?

It refers to the condition of of being a celebrity. (But I also like the "doesn't refer to anything" posted above.)

Is it possible to make that "Money. Fame. Excitement. [STRIKE]Any of[/STRIKE] These [STRIKE]key[/STRIKE]words make it sound like celebrities have the perfect life"?

Keywords would not make sense there. Those are words, not keywords.
