Is back an adjective or adverb?

It can be either.

It is an adjective when it precedes a noun (back fence) or when it follows a linking verb (he is back).

It is an adverb when it answers the question "where" (reached back, jumped back).

It can also be a noun (the back of something or someone).

What else can I help you with?
