How can you distinguish a preposition from an adverb?
A preposition will use an object (noun, pronoun, or an equivalent phrase). Example: Getting dirty is part of being a cowboy. (being a cowboy is a noun phrase, object of the preposition of) Where an adverb might also be used as a preposition, look for an object: a noun or pronoun or the equivalent which normally follows the preposition. If there is none, the word in that usage is an adverb. Example: We walked on. (adverb) We walked on the beach. (preposition)
