    Preposition or Adverb

    Remember...

    Many words are used as prepositions, but they can also be used as adverbs. A
    preposition never appears alone. It is always followed by an object which will be a noun
    or pronoun. If the word has a noun or pronoun following it, it is probably a preposition.
    If it does not have a noun or pronoun following it, it is probably an adverb.
