| Re: Word classes work out- here it is modifying the verb, so it's not functioning as a preposition. Some call this a particle, or adverbial particle, while others prefer to call it an adverb. |

| Re: Word classes Same thing to me- the verb is drop + out, to make the phrasal verb, with of doing the connecting as a preposition |
