A Big Myth
It
is said we should avoid ending a sentence with a preposition. A
preposition should be placed before a noun or a pronoun. The word
preposition expresses "position before" so it is improper to place a
preposition at the end! This is, however, not a rule. You can use
preposition to end a sentence with.
Here, you will learn when you
can use preposition at the end of a sentence and how you can avoid
using preposition at the end of a sentence.
As there is no hard
and fast rule regarding use of preposition at the end of a sentence, so
whether you use it or not at the end of a sentence, it is your choice.
But as most people avoid 'excessive' use of prepositions at the end of
sentences so you can follow suit, and may use them only when they give
strength to your language.
Some words (on, off, over, etc.) may
be used as prepositions or adverbs. However, everyone can't easily
differentiate between preposition and adverb. So whenever they see these
words at the end of sentences, they think that they are prepositions.
As most of the people are averse to the idea of using prepositions at
the end of sentences, they even don't use these words as adverbs at the
end of sentences.
Actually, it is a myth that you shouldn't use
preposition at the end of a sentence. Using preposition at the end of a
sentence is not grammatically incorrect. So you can end your sentences
with prepositions. Sometimes, using preposition at the end of a sentence
seems better than using it in the middle of a sentence.
