Anonymous asked: I heard sentences can't end with a preposition. Is it true? If so, what are they? Are there anything else a sentence can't end with?
Hello, Anon.
A preposition is sometimes the best word to end a sentence with. (See what we did there?)
That is an old grammar myth that continues to persist.
A sentence can end with a noun, verb, gerund, adjective, adverb, or a preposition, but you won’t come across too many sentences that end in a conjunction (and, or, but, etc.).

“…but you won’t come across too many sentences that in a conjunction.”
"It’s that thing when you’re with someone and you love them and they know it and they love you and you know it but it’s a party and you’re both talking to other people and you’re laughing and shining and you look across the room and catch each other’s eyes. But not because you’re possessive, or it’s precisely sexual, but because that is your person in this life and it’s funny and sad but only because this life will end and it’s this secret world that exists right there. In public. Unnoticed. That no one else knows about. It’s sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us but we don’t have the ability to perceive them. That’s what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.”
