The word "in" can only be an adverb when it acts by itself to modify a verb, with no noun following it as an object.

Example: The man walked in.

(adverb - we don't know what he's walking into)

Otherwise, it is a preposition, and the phrase can modify either nouns or verbs.

Example:

The hole in the ceiling became larger.

(preposition - an adjective phrase, modifying hole)

He works in the bank.

(preposition - an adverb phrase, modifying works)

How can you distinguish a preposition from an adverb?

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)
