The underlined word in “what it was like” functions in the same way as in

  1. The children seem to like their free time.
  2. There were like two hundred students there.
  3. The school stood like a monument in the square.
  4. The school would like students to keep a distance.
  5. The teacher should ask how students like the class.

Comentário do professor

Na frase The school stood like a monument in the square, o like atua como preposição de comparação, introduzindo o sintagma nominal a monument e indicando semelhança: a escola apresentava aparência ou posição semelhante à de um monumento.

No trecho what it was like, o like tem a mesma função semântica: funciona como preposição que indica modo/semelhança, traduzível por como em português (ex.: How was it? What was it like? = Como foi?/Como era?).

Sintaticamente, em ambas as ocorrências like liga a ideia principal a uma expressão que descreve aparência ou modo, não sendo verbo nem marcador de quantidade. Por isso, as duas frases compartilham a mesma função do termo.
