Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please see my corrections to your post above. It is important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".

Does it help if I tell you that the word "that" could be added to both those phrases?

The way that she looks ...
The way that it tastes ...

I never saw it that way. One more question, Do you see how I said that way, can that be an adverb.

I suggest you reread the rules emsr2d2 gave you and edit your question accordingly.

 

[mawes12]

Sorry I don't understand. So you're saying that I never saw it that way can also be I never saw it that that way.

I think he's telling you to capitalise 'i', which isn't an English word unless it's written 'I'. Do you understand that?
Naturally, it's pronounced the same way.

 

[mawes12]

Nobody has answered my question.

 

[Rover_KE]

I don't understand it.

 

[emsr2d2]

How else do you think we could convey the meaning of "The way she looks ..."?

 

[mawes12]

I'm talking about the second question.

 

[emsr2d2]

Is the question "Is 'that' in "I never saw it that way" an adverb?"?

 

[Raymott]

I think he's referring to #3. "One more question, Do you see how I said that way, can that be an adverb."
"Do you see how I said that way" is not a proper English question.
Also, people will be less likely to miss your extra questions if you start a new thread for a new question. Admittedly this was a follow-up, but it got lost anyway.
In any case, it would be a determiner if the sentence were grammatical, as it is in the above post.

I meant if the way can be an adverb like the way you look can also be how you look. Tell me if you're confused.
