The guideline opposed to end a retribution with a closed-class word is one of the initial world restrictions I chafed at. Some sentences retributory murmur advanced next to a function word in the endmost character. Compare the communicative boom of "And now... the proclamation you've all been ready and waiting for!" beside the rule-abiding dolt "And now... the annunciation for which you've all been waiting!"

Prepositions are oral communication suchlike as, at, before, by, down, for, from, in, of, off, through, to, up and with that do the heavy sweat of linking an baulk to different linguistic unit in the linguistic string to demonstrate the association relating them. For years, grammarians have been at likelihood with the residual of us about closed-class word arrangement.

They say it's not square-toed to plop a closed-class word at the end of a sentence, but who are they to make clear to us what we may and may not end our sentences with? For example, Garbanzos are the beans that spread is made from. The function word from establishes the affiliation between chickpea beans and hummus, and it sounds more than automatic placed at the end of the word string than in its technically precise position, Garbanzos are the beans from which paste is made.

I'm hopefully vertiginous going on for the function word freedom acknowledged in the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style: "A linguistic string that ends in a function word may healthy more than natural than a penalty cautiously constructed to give up a final function word." and "The 'rule' prohibiting last prepositions was an ill-founded superstitious notion."

I saw the pail of peanut butter the proboscidean sat in.

This is the divider the sharp-set seafood slid downbound.

Is that the hummock your space vehicle landed on?

This is the force creative dreams are ready-made of. Have fun.
