Note
A form that takes its object directly, with no preposition: the square resembled a stage set, he resembled his father, never resembled to. The same -ed spelling serves the past tense and, after have, the participle (had resembled). In older writing it can mean 'likened' or 'compared', a use now archaic, or 'imitated' and 'counterfeited', which are obsolete.
