Hey thanks to reply to the second doubt!
I have a question here, for the first doubt.

A preposition is a word governing, and usually coming in front of, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element, as in:
She left before breakfast
What did you come for?
Prepositions generally introduce prepositional phrases. Prepositional phrases look like this:
preposition + optional modifiers + noun, pronoun or gerund
At school
At = preposition; school = noun.
According to us
According to = preposition; us = pronoun.
Some prepositions also function as subordinate conjunctions. These prepositions are after, as, before, since, and until. A subordinate conjunction will have both a subject and a verb following it, forming a subordinate clause.
As Jerome buckled on the parachute
As = subordinate conjunction; Jerome = subject; buckled = verb.
There can be a long long list of prepositions. i cant even write all of them....
I want to know, how is 'for' in this sentence a preposition "What have you come here for?"
It isn't followed by any modifier or noun etc. It doesn't even seem to be a a subordinate conjunction!
Also, for this sentence, " What are you'll fighting over?" - is 'over' an accurately placed preposition? (Or is it that English has an answer to this too - saying it is an exceptional case?)
