The word 'like' possesses a multifaceted nature, functioning as a verb, preposition, conjunction, and even an interjection.
As a verb, it signifies enjoyment or preference; it implies finding something agreeable or appealing.
As a preposition, 'like' denotes similarity or resemblance, indicating a comparative relationship between two subjects.
In its conjunction form, 'like' introduces an example or comparison, often preceding a clause. It can also serve as an interjection or filler word, commonly used in informal speech, though generally considered less grammatically sound.
Its flexibility makes it a ubiquitous, albeit sometimes ambiguous, element in everyday communication.
