        Hello mr.Benny,
I need your help.
How do I say “to be like”?
Our test from yesterday was just like our practice test.
Your behavior is just like your brothers.
Mandarin from Shanghai is just like Mandarin in Taiwan.
It’s like you don’t want to be here.
The accident took place in Shanghai.
Michael Jackson’s funeral will take place in LA.
To happen:
What happened?
That is what happens when you’re mean to him.
