A Big Myth -- It is said we should avoid ending a sentence with a prepositi
on.
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
a
preposition
to
end
sentence
with.
Here, you will learn when you can use a preposition at the end of a sentence and how you can avoid using a preposition at the end of a sentence. As there is
no
hard
and
fast
rule
regarding the use of a 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 the 'excessive' use of prepositions at the end of sentences, you can follow suit and may use them only when they give strength to your language. Some words (
on, off, over, etc.) m
ay be used as both
prepositions
adverbs
. However, everyone can't easily differentiate between a preposition and an adverb. So, whenever they see these words at the end of sentences, they think that they are prepositions. As most 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 a preposition at the end of a sentence. Using a preposition at the end of a sentence is
not
grammatically
incorrect
. You can end your sentences with prepositions. Sometimes, using a preposition at the end of a sentence seems better than using it in the middle or beginning of a sentence.
