I forgot that I actually do have one more question...

What parts of speech do the words 'as' and 'at' usually function as?


Thanks so much!

P.S. Quiz questions coming up soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked it up somewhere else and the answer said that 'at' is a preposition. I know that it can be a preposition, but must it always?

Okay, I found another answer that says the word 'as' can be a preposition, adverb, or conjunction. I could probably figure this out myself, people, but would you help me by giving me example sentences? Thank you so much!
