Are possessive words a preposition

Answer 1

No, possessive words are nouns or pronouns.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

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

A possessive noun or pronoun is a word that indicates that something in the sentence belongs to that person or thing.

A preposition is a word that connects a noun or a pronoun with another word in a sentence. A preposition usually comes in front of a noun or pronoun, telling its relation to another word in a sentence (words like of, for, in, on, with, to, from, etc.)

Examples:

• I like chocolate cake with cherries. (the preposition 'with' connects the noun 'cherries' to the noun 'cake')
• Mom made some for my birthday. (the preposition 'for' connects the noun 'birthday' to the verb 'made')

Answer 2

No, possessive words are not prepositions. Possessive words show ownership or a relationship of possession between a noun and another element in a sentence, while prepositions show the relationship between nouns and pronouns in a sentence.
