Hello,

I'm confused about the sentences below:


That sounds like a good idea. --> This is correct.

That sounds a good idea. --> Is this also grammatically correct?


Thank you for your help so much.

The second sentence is not correct .
When you are using a simile (a figure of speech where you compare one thing with another thing of a different kind) you need to include like.
