Hi Lola
The word "like" basically means "same" in the sentence, but you shouldn't just look at the word "like". You should understand/learn the idiom "(be) of a like mind" as a whole.
The meaning is "(have) the same opinion, taste, or way of thinking".

www.diki.pl, the dictionary indicates: to be of like mind, without ..a'' before ,,like'', what version is correct? |
