Amyism: how to conjugate phrasal verbs

The other day, Amy said something along the lines of “wanted to know what it look likes”.

Took me a sec until I realised that she had added the third-person singular present marker -s to the “verb” to look like. Amusing parse :)

However, she seemed to have realised her mistake; at any rate, two sentences later she had one with “what it looks like”.

Still fun :)

Executive summary: I had a great time and I’m very glad I went!
