hold on to!!! adverbs or prepositions?

Guys, please help me with this phraisal verb. In this "hold on to", "on" and "to" are just adverbs, or prepositions?
  

Top answer

"hold on" is the phasal verb. "hold" is the verb; "on" is the adverbial particle that completes it. "to" is the preposition that connects the phrasal verb to the object.
