A verb is an action word. It describes something happening
(i.e. hearing, seeing), a state of being (i.e. to live, to sleep), or
an action being done (i.e. to read, to sing).
A preposition is a word that describes the relationship
between two words. For example, the bees are above the
table or under the table, but not inside the table (hopefully).
Prepositions mainly deal with location or direction (i.e. on,
through, around) and time (i.e. “by” or “around” a certain
time).
An adverb is a word that describes a verb. For example, you
can run quickly or slowly and arrive to class early or late.
