Dear teacher,

I�d like to know when �before� can be a conjunction, a preposition or an adverb.

1) Before coming to school and went to my grandma. (= preposition ?) (May I have another example where �before� is a preposition, please?)

2) Before I came to school I went to visit my grandma. (= conjunction ?)

3) I�ve never been to Norway before. (= adverb ?)

Thanks a lot,
Hela
