Is 'a' a preposition?

[Toorak]

No - there are no one letter prepositions. Maybe an error

[elliemay1]

I thought that but then I found this:
//Preposition
In some cases, the word “a” is also used as a preposition which can be substituted to “in,” “to,” or “for each.” For example, in the sentence below:

My parents send money once a month.//

[Calibax]

A = from
as in Thomas a Kempis

[Toorak]

Thanks elliemay - it makes sense now
