Difference between Preposition and Conjunction

During my Syntax class, we have to strengthen our background grammar knowledge in order to understand Syntax better. Therefore, i had been given task to search about the difference between Preposition and Conjunction.

So what is the difference between Preposition and Conjunction?

Conjunction joins clauses, phrases, or words in a sentence. For example, " The dog ate the burger AND the cake"
Meanwhile, Prepositions link nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. For example, "The cat sat ON the table"
" The dog was sitting BESIDE the couch"

So you see the difference? Well, this is one of the difference. There are more that you can find for yourself. ;)
