Difference Between Prepositions and Adverbs ---- Easy English Grammar Notes

Difference Between Prepositions and Adverbs:

There are some words that can be used both as prepositions and as adverbs. If a word is used as a preposition it will have a noun or pronoun as its object. 

Adverbs, on the other hand, do not have objects. They are used to modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. 


Examples:

1. The planes fly above the trees.        Here "Above - preposition and trees - object"

2. The planes fly above.                      Here "Above - adverb and no Object" 



Comparison:

1. She sat in the armchair.            (In-preposition; armchair - object)

2. Please come in.                         (In-adverb; no object)

3. He stood before me.                 (Before - preposition, object - me)

4. I have seen him before.            (Before-adverb, no object)

5. She put the book on the table.    (On-preposition, object - the table)

6. Let's move on.                              (On-adverb, no object)

7. He will return after a month.        (After-preposition; object - a month)

8. He came soon after.                     (After-adverb; no object)
