Can you end a sentence in a preposition?

This is a game that I can be happy about. I find that on A2K, I end sentences in prepositions, even if I don't want to. Then I have to correct them so that I don't sound illiterate, like I don't know what I am talking about.

I think you find this easier to do, Phoenix than I know how to figure out.

Another fun game to play with. When I saw the title I had to find out what Lola was up to.

Lola- That's because ending in prepositions is a big problem of mine. I would like a dollar for every time I wrote a sentence, and then corrected it because it ended in a preposition. Funny thing, when I correct it, the sentence always sounds stuffy to me. Do you think that it has something to do with my Brooklyn roots?

maybe, Phoenix Brooklyn might be it, but if you're from Texas, as I am, the correct answer to, "when are you going to do that?" is aways "I'm fixin to." So I come by it naturally as well. We could also modify this thread by either writing a sentence that ends in a prep. or by writing it correctly. For instance, "are you the person to whom I should be speaking?" Stuffy, yes, but correct just the same.

Ok, I'm in.
This a game that I will be good at.

Maxsdadeo,

Is that a picture of Robert Redford we're looking at?

As much as it would appear to be, max insists that it is me that it is a picture of.

I'm ashamed to admit that when I was in Jr. high school there was this English class that I just hated to be in. It was boring boring boring because my friend and I thought we already knew everything, English-wise, and so we did everything we could to try to get out. We succeeded, by passing some sort of essay test, which showed that we instinctively knew what we were doing, probably because we both read a zillion books and wrote a lot besides. So I completely missed instruction on these kinds of specifics (prepositions), and admit that I had to look them up.

Such an important rule -- how did I go so long without?

Well, Max............I'd pick you as an adult any day over your baby picture, if it was those two I had to choose between.

Thanks, Sozobe, that list is something I don't know what I'd do without. Hey, this is something I'm getting better at.

When a southern woman asked a snotty northerner, "Where are you from?" the northerner said, "Not from a part of the country where we end our sentences in a preposition!"
The southern woman then said, "Well, where are you from, bitch?"

This should be easy for anyone speaking deutsch. Or, not.

Good one Diane, maybe - Wo bis du von? Bitch!!

Tucson be it.

In our lives, there dwells a point of, a time to.

HAAA!! Double prep or what??

maxsdadeo, what age is max at? Is he old enough to know his daddy when he sees him - do you know what I'm getting at?

(whew, this is tougher than it looks like!)

mscsm11, I see your point through and through.

And Max was not playing around.

I'm still trying to understand what this game is about.
I guess I'm not where it's at.

Sozobe- I was just looking at your preposition list, and I found, to my chagrin, that I use many of them at the end of my sentences.

Can you end a sentence with a preposition?

With or without?

Up or down?

Above or below?

During or after?

Inside or outside?

etc, etc...
