I beg to differ... one of the definitions for "before" being used as a preposition is "previous in time" . "Before seven" would meet that criteria...... I think

Aha! I see it again -- there are two C's here!!

So, Jiya -- which is it? And adverb or a preposition??

Preposition is correct, as GuruBlue said, yes.
