2. used with noun phrases
Instead of an adjective, you can use a noun phrase after seem or seem to be. For example, instead of saying 'She seemed nice', you can say 'She seemed a nice person' or 'She seemed to be a nice person'. In conversation and in less formal writing, people often say 'She seemed like a nice person'.
It seemed a long time before the food came.
She seems to be a very good boss.
It seemed like a good idea.
