How can you tell if a word is being used as an adverb, object of a preposition, or complement in a sentence?

You have to figure out what the function of the word is.





An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. The object of a preposition is a noun or pronoun linked by the preposition to the rest of the sentence. A complement is the part of a sentence that restates or gives you more information about the subject or object.
