What is the main difference between a preposition and a phrasal verb?

Prepositions always come before a noun, while phrasal verbs always come after a verb.

Prepositions are single words, phrasal verbs are always two words.

A preposition shows a relationship between words, while a phrasal verb combines a verb and a particle (preposition/adverb) to form a new, often idiomatic meaning.
