I am struggling linq to entities left outer join. I have two entities (tables):

Listings 
{
    ListingID,
    MakeID (nullable)
}

Makes
{
    MakeID,
    Description
}

I want to write something like this in LINQ:

select listings.listingID
,listings.makeid
, IsNull(makes.Description, 'NA')
from listings
left outer join makes
on listings.makeid = makes.makeid
