Hi again!

I'm normally quite good at identify different classes of words but I'm struggling with this particular word in this sentence. I'm in two minds as to whether the word 'including' is being used as either a verb or a preposition in the sentence - 'About 40 worlds leaders, including UK Prime minister David Cameroon, went to show their support'.

I personally think it's being used as a preposition. Am I right?

@zygotic,
Yes, I'm pretty sure you're right.But there's the possibility that it could be conjnctive in the sense of "as well as." But I'd go with the prepositon function first.
