Is the word Again a preposition?

No, "again" is not a preposition. It is an adverb.

Here's why:

* Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They typically indicate location, time, or direction. Examples: *on*, *in*, *at*, *to*, *from*.

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. "Again" tells us that something is happening repeatedly or a second time.

Example:

* Preposition: "The book is on the table." (On tells us the location of the book)

* Adverb: "I read the book again." (Again tells us when the action of reading happened)
