| Rule 1. | You may end a sentence with a preposition. Just do not use extra prepositions when the meaning is clear without them. Examples: | |
| Correct: | That is something I cannot agree with. That is something with which I cannot agree. | |
| Correct: | How many of you can I count on? | |
| Correct: | Where did he go? | |
| Incorrect: | Where did he go to? | |
| Correct: | Where did you get this? | |
| Incorrect: | Where did you get this at? | |
| Correct: | I will go later. | |
| Incorrect: | I will go later on. I must have been asleep when this rule was taught...I think we all have this problem! | |
