长大 zhǎngdà

Usage 1 - "to grow up"

Living Link Suggestion(s):

• Peter Pan (doesn't want to GROW UP)
• Grow until you are big. That's GROWING UP!

长相 zhǎngxiàng

Usage 1 - "features, appearance"

(Note: When 相 is pronounced "xiàng" it means "looks, appearance" or "photograph," but in this case, it means "looks, appearance.)

Living Link Suggestion(s):

• You must grow into your looks or APPEARANCE.
• "Many Different Faces" (this will get you a sense of all the different APPEARANCES people can have)

长得 zhǎngde

Usage 1 - "to look like, to appear, looks"

Living Link Suggestion(s):

• This word tends to be followed by an adjective, for example “长得 + Handsome (帅 shuài) / Beautiful (美 měi/漂亮 piàoliang) / Ugly (丑 chǒu), etc. Therefore, do an image search for 长得帅 - 长得漂亮 - 长得丑 to get a sense of what Chinese people consider handsome, beautiful, and ugly respectively.
