Hello friends,

Re: seems/look/appear

Dear teachers.

1. The sentence seems odd to me.
2. The sentence looks odd to me.
3. The sentence appears odd to me.

I am okay with number 2. I mean I am familiar with it. But about others, I am confused. They might be correct but I want to clear my confusion. Shouldn't we use "to be" after words seem and appear?

Please help me to clarify the use of seem and appear.

Thanks.

They're OK. You can insert 'to be' there if you want to, but it's not necessary.
