Er … uit zien
Er also occurs in certain fixed idiomatic expressions. One of those is er … uit zien. The word on the dotted line, so to speak, is usually an adjective, but doesn’t need to be (see the last example):
Your living room looks nice/cosy.
You’re looking really tired! Go to bed soon!
Simone is looking sporty.
We were wondering what you would look like.
It is difficult to define the meaning of er in this expression and it is best to learn the whole expression as a separate vocabulary item.
