Hello,
Please explain whether any adverb requires its own preposition.
The adjective has a preposition of its own, such as "different from, bored of..".
The dictionary gives examples of adverbs with preposition, as in "high above/into"--he kicked the ball high into the air. Is it "into,the preposition" that the adverb "high" requires?
Thanks very much.

Dear girl,
high is an adjectve not an adverb, but can be used with an adverbial meaning, in which case it is not followed by a noun.
the preposition in this case adds meaning to the adverb reinforcing the idea of rising. Into is a preposition .
Deep, last, fast, hard can be adjectives or adverbs:
A deep sea (adjective) . Down deep into the sea (adverb) : not followed by a noun as an adjective would require.
My last chance (adjective) ; last but not least (adverb)
A Fast car adj./ They run very fast adv.
They worked hard , adj.
hardly , adverb, has a different meaning , because it means rarely, seldom.
I hope this has helped you.
