My house is near the park. what is near here?an adjective,adverb or something else

Question

I want explanation because my english teacher said its an adverb but isnt it modifying the noun house

Answer 1

Furthermore, the prepositional phrase is modifying the verb “is”, so it is an adverbial prepositional phrase.

Answer 2

In this case, near is a preposition because it introduces the phrase "near the park." Near can also be an adverb when it doesn't have an object, as in "That lightning sounded very near," because it's modifying the verb, in this case, "sounded."

Answer 3

Prepositional phrase. "Near" is the preposition.
