AWAY
when you say “Put that thing away from me,” “away” is a preposition telling you where you want something to be. When you say “Put the book off the table,” “off” is a preposition telling where to put the book. When these words are prepositions there will usually follow a prepositional phrase starting with them. Without a following prepositional phrase, they are just adverbs. For instance, “When a car problem develops, it is best to park off the road. “Away” doesn’t take a prepositional phrase as often and so is used more as an adverb. “Park away from the traffic.” There, the preposition is “from,” and “away” is an adverb.
"Back" as an adverb
Yes. “Back” can be an adverb in several senses. It’s also an adverb in expressions like these:
I want to go back home.
My asthma has come back.
She looked back on her childhood.
Don’t talk back to your mother
I want to go back home.
My asthma has come back.
She looked back on her childhood.
Don’t talk back to your mother
