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)

Sometimes the object is separated from its proposition.

- Who (whom) did she see her boyfriend with?

The object whom is the object of the preposition with.

- Which war did he serve during?

The object is which war: he served during which war?
