Confused and Misused Words - Childish V Childlike


Childish
·        Despite being a husband and father of three, John is still very childish (= behave in a way that would be expected of a child). It’s a mystery that his children are so well-behaved.


Childlike

  • Everyone is drawn to Sally’s childlike (=like a child in a good sense) innocence/behaviour. It’s no wonder she’s so popular in her neighbourhood!
