Answer:

By” is usually a preposition but sometimes acts as an adverb. It can be used in many ways, but today we will talk about four uses as a preposition and show you where it is placed in a sentence.

Close to / Next to

Let's start with using “by” to show place or location. When we use "by" this way, it means "close to" "next to" or "beside." Here are two examples. Note that “by” comes before the place.

Meet me at the show! I’ll be seated by the door.

The university is by the sea.

Past a place

Now for the second use. When “by” is placed after motion-related verbs -- like "run," "drive," and "walk" -- it often shows movement past a place. Let’s listen:

I walked by the river on Sunday. It was a beautiful day!

Did you drive by my building today? I thought I saw you.

Not later than

Another way we use “by” is to talk about time on a clock. When we use it this way, it means “not later than.” The word “by” comes before the time. Have a listen:

Your appointment is at 1:00. Please arrive by 12:45.

We should leave by 7:00 to beat the crowds.
