Disguised prepositions are words that function as prepositions, but may appear in a sentence as a different part of speech. For example, "among" is often disguised as a verbal particle in phrasal verbs (e.g. "look around"), and "about" can be disguised as an adverb (e.g. "I have been thinking about you"). These words maintain their prepositional function despite their disguised appearance.
