The preposition "on" is an adverb when it has no object noun.

Examples are "we cannot go on" or "they sailed on." (synonymous with onward)

*Note:

Some preposition forms are stated out of order: "We have nothing to base this on."

Some forms (put your raincoat on) seem to be adjectives instead, where the word on means being worn. This is analogous to "on" meaning in operation (turn the radio on).
