Is this correct? " How did my sentence sound like??"

context
"I'm conservative."
"What happened to your cousin?"
"I said I'm conservative. How did my sentence sound like??"
"I thought you said cousin because I couldn't hear you well."

Risposte

Yes.
In sentences like "How did..." or "How was..." the word "like" isn't really used, so it is dropped (since "how" indicates the way something is/was X).
However, when you use sentences like "What did..." or "What was/were...", the word "like" is used (since "what" indicates a comparison response).
Thus, you could either say:
"How did my sentence sound?" or
"What did my sentence sound like?"

@inuzalez Thank you. :)
