I begger to differ.
To "What's your brother like?", the answer could be: He is like a chick. (mentally) To "What does your brother look like?", the answer has to be made with respect to the appearance: e.g., He looks like a man but is actually a chick. |

Haihao is right,
"What's your brother like?" is more about personality.
"What does your brother look like?" is about appearances. how did this thread get so many views? _________________ 福山市 英会話 goodwin |

"What does your brother like" has absolutely different meaning. The answer would be "My brother likes apples".
"What does your brother look like" - is question about appearance. It is possible with "look" only. In the answer you can use " He is ..." or "He looks like ..."
"What's your brother like" == What is your brother like". The answer would be "He is like ..." |
