"Stood" is usually the past tense or past participle of stand (so yes, it is a verb). Example: "The person stood up." Past participles, however, often function adjectivally in constructions where the main verb is a form of be (were, was, has been). In those cases, the past participle describes a state: "They were seated," "The door was locked." In "They were stood by the door," were is the auxiliary/main verb, and stood is a past participle describing their positioned state — that is, it functions adjectivally (archaic, dialectal, or formal-styled). It is nonstandard in some varieties but perfectly valid as a stylistic choice in literary or archaic tone. "Along" is most commonly a preposition (as in "along the hall" = preposition + object). It can also function as an adverb ("The project is moving along") or appear in phrasal verbs ("get along"). Thus, it is not only a preposition, although that is its usual role. The above answer ("No. Stood is a verb … and along is a preposition") is misleading: It is correct that stood is a verb in many contexts but wrong to claim that it cannot function adjectivally or as a past participle in constructions like "were stood." It is correct that along is a preposition but incomplete to claim that it cannot also function as an adverb in other contexts. Hope this helps; The Grammar Demon
Beside.
In the sentence "They live near the airport," the preposition is "near." The object of the preposition is "the airport," which indicates the location in relation to where "they" live.
No, "closely" is not a preposition. It is an adverb that describes how an action is performed, in a near or intimate manner.
It can be either. If the object is named, it is a preposition (near the wall). If there is no object, it just means "nearby" or "close." (Near can also be an adjective.)
A preposition is a word most often preceding a noun or a pronoun that expresses a relationship to another word or phrase in a sentence. The preposition and the noun or pronoun modified by the preposition is called a prepositional phrase.Example of prepositions used with the noun mesaare:We drove to the mesa. (the preposition 'to' tells where we drove)They stood on the mesa. (the preposition 'on' tells where they stood)I picked up a rock from the mesa. (the preposition 'from' tells where the rock was picked up)Some eagles nested above the mesa. (the preposition 'above' tells where the eagles nested)We took photos of the mesa. (the preposition 'of' tells what the subject of the photos was)
