"Like" as a preposition and/or a verb

Hi, I am doing an exercise on 'like' and am trying to put the questions into the correct column. (ie verb or preposition)

Could you please tell me if these are correct?

What is she like? (preposition)

How is he? (p)

What is the weather like? (p)

What do you like? (v)

What does she look like? (p)

What would you like? (v)

What are you like? (p)

I am basically working on the principle that similar to/comparable to is a prepostion (if followed by a noun/noun clause) and likes/dislikes/wants are the verb form.

Can you make any corrections/explanations where necessary.

Thank you in advance Emotion: surprise)

All are correct; however, the 2nd sentence contains no 'like'.
