Is the word or a preposition?

"Or" is a conjunction, not a preposition.

Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses.

Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence.

Here are some examples to illustrate the difference:

* Conjunction: "I like apples or oranges." (Or connects the two nouns)

* Preposition: "The book is on the table." (On shows the relationship between the book and the table)
