[Grammar] conjunction and infinitive

[Checkmate]

Is it right to use the infinitive after a conjunction?

"It is because to be lazy is not good for you."

"I know how it feels like to be you."

Is it right to use the infinitive after a conjunction?

"It is because to be lazy is not good for you."
It is because being lazy is not good for you.

"I know how it feels like to be you."
I know how it feels to be you.
I know what it feels like to be you.

See above.

 

[Checkmate]

I heard that 'because' could informally be used as a preposition. Is this right?

"I know what it feels like to be you".

Isn't 'like' here a conjunction?

 

[Checkmate]

I was thinking if 'like' is an adjective here.

It is a preposition here, according to http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/like_1
