No, the word 'by' is a preposition and an adverb.

A preposition is a word that connects a noun or a pronoun to another word in the sentence.

Examples:

We found a little cafe by the lake. (the preposition 'by' connects the noun 'lake' to the verb 'found')

The cafe by the lake serves family style food. (the preposition 'by' connects the noun 'lake' to the noun 'cafe')

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

Example: I stopped by to say hello. (the adverb 'by' modifies the verb 'stopped')

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Example: Sally came to visit and she brought the baby with her. (the pronouns 'she' and 'her' take the place of the noun 'Sally' in the second part of the sentence)
