Like can be used as a verb to talk about tastes and preferences:
I like chocolate.
I like living in the city.
If a verb is used after like it can take the –ing form or the infinitive with to with very little difference in meaning:
I like cooking. I like to cook.
Like can be used as a preposition with look and be to talk about appearance and to ask for descriptions:
So tell me, what does Sarah's new boyfriend look like?
He's tall, dark and handsome. He looks a lot like some Hollywood movie star.
Be like is used to ask for and give general descriptions:
What's Sarah like? She’s great. She’s funny and smart.
What's the weather like in your city? Not very nice; it's always raining.
