Over can be used in the following ways:
as a preposition (followed by a noun or a pronoun): a bridge over the river ♦ Two men were fighting over her. (followed by a number or amount): It happened over a hundred years ago.
as an adverb (without a following noun): He fell over and broke his arm.
after the verb 'to be': The semester will be over soon.
above someone/something
Does "over" function as a preposition in the following sentences ?
1. Perry glanced at the clock over the door.
2. The Simpsons live in a flat over the shop.
3. We could see the Angolan flag flying over the governor's palace.
4. She came and stood over him as he lay on the bed.
Thanks.
