Rule: Prepositions should NOT end a sentence!
Preposition: A word that usually precedes a noun or pronoun and expresses relationships between entities.
Examples:
on, under, above, aside, by, after, etc.
How many people do you hear or see end their sentences, when speaking and writing, with a preposition? How about when you speak? Why is it so wrong when we still understand the sentences clearly? Does anyone still follow this rule?
Incorrect Phrases:
Where are you at?
Who did you sit by?
It just takes entirely too much time to not end some sentences with a preposition, right? I mean who says stuff like, "By whom did you sit?"
