Yes, the word like is a preposition, as well as a verb, a noun, an adjective, an adverb, conjunction.
Example sentences:
As a preposition: She slept like an angel.
As a verb: You will like this movie.
As a noun: They had a very elaborate wedding, the like of which you only see in the movies.
As an adjective: They sell towels, bedding, drapery, and like household goods.
As an adverb: You may not believe it but she's more like forty than twenty five.
As a conjunction: They seemed fine like everything was alright.
And, some people use like as an interjection, which can be annoying: It was, like, really great!
Oops!! Nope, like is not a conjunction, but a preposition...though it may occasionally, and informally, be used as a conjunction, as in "Winston tastes good...like a cigarette should."
Here is a good example of the correct use of the word "like."
An hour ago, on a local radio program, the host spoke of handling problems by people "like you and I." "Like" functions as a preposition ("by" is also a preposition, incidentally), requiring the pronouns to reflect the accusative form, so the comment should have been "These problems might have been handled by people like you and me."
AND, please note that there is no word "alright," and never was (not with-standing the "Who" album,"The Boys are Alright." Correct usage dictates, "ALL RIGHT."
