Is for an adverb or adjective?

"For" is a preposition, not an adverb or an adjective.

Here's why:

* Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They often indicate location, time, or direction.

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

* Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.

Example:

* For dinner, we had pizza. ("For" shows the relationship between "dinner" and "we had pizza")

* We waited for hours. ("For" shows the relationship between "waited" and "hours")
