Preposition as Adverb Exercise worksheet with sentences to identify prepositions or adverbs.

Task Explanation:

The task is to identify whether the underlined words in each sentence are prepositions or adverbs.

- Prepositions are words that show a relationship between a noun or pronoun and another part of the sentence (e.g., "in," "on," "over").
- Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often describing how, when, where, or to what extent something happens (e.g., "quickly," "here," "now").

Let's analyze each sentence and determine whether the underlined word is a preposition or an adverb.
