This was made for my students, Japanese speakers, so they can understand how English parts of speech work.

English does have prepositions. There happens to be kanji for prepositions.

As I said I was not sure if it would work the other direction, but that I thought it should.

I just spent three days trying to convince someone else Japanese has no prepositions, so trust me, I am well aware of the differences.

Also, I checked my list with the JTEs, and they did not mention 形容動詞.

My intent was to place English parts of speech into Japanese. I did not mean to suggest these were parts of speech of the Japanese language, but rather Japanese language translations of the parts of speech in English. There is quite a lot of crossover, of course.
