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)
No. The word from is a preposition. However, with a noun object, it can form an adverbial phrase.
It is never an adverb. It is always a preposition. The word "within" can be an adverb or a preposition, and the word "forthwith" (immediately) is an adverb.
The word with is not an adverb; it is a preposition. The word "without" may be an adverb (e.g. to do without, where no specific object is used).
No, of is not an adverb. The word of is exclusively a preposition, but sometimes is separated from its object (e.g. what is that bolt a part of?).
