Sentence endings When Can a Sentence End with a Preposition?

Sentences Can End with Prepositions from Phrasal Verbs
So far, my examples of prepositions at the end of sentences have all been questions. Lest you think they’re a special case, we’ll look at some sentences that aren’t questions.
English has a type of verb called a phrasal verb. These are verbs made up of multiple words, and one is usually a preposition. “Cheer up,” “run over,” “log on,” and “leave off” are all examples of phrasal verbs, and often sentences that use phrasal verbs end with a preposition:

• 
  I wish he would cheer up.
  
• 
  You should leave it off.
  

Those are perfectly acceptable sentences, and some people argue that the words at the end aren’t even prepositions. They’re adverbs that modify the verb.
Other Sentences Can End with Prepositions Too
I don’t religiously avoid ending sentences with prepositions anymore. If a sentence sounds awkward when I rewrite it the “right” way, I leave it with a preposition at the end. For example, I wouldn’t rewrite this sentence.

• 
  She displayed the good humor she’s known for. (That could be rewritten as “She displayed the good humor for which she’s known,” but that sounds too stuffy to me.)
  

And here’s one more:

• 
  I want to know where he came from. (That could be rewritten as “I want to know from where he came,” but I wouldn’t do it.)
  

Cover Letter Grammar
I said you don’t need to rewrite those sentences, and I don’t, but because the myth that it’s wrong to end sentences with prepositions is so prevalent, there are times when you should avoid doing it even though I’m saying it isn’t wrong.
For example, when you’re writing a cover letter to a potential employer, don’t end a sentence with a preposition. The person reading the letter could see it as an error. I always recommend following the most conservative grammar rules in job applications. I’d rather be hired than lose an opportunity because my grammar was perceived as wrong.
But once you’re hired, and you’re in a position to have a discussion about grammar, don’t be afraid to do your part to dispel one of the top ten grammar myths, and end sentences with prepositions when it sounds best as long as the preposition isn’t unnecessary and as long as it won’t hurt your credibility with readers.
Only you (or your boss) can determine whether your audience is likely to notice or care. And if you need back-up, you can show your boss almost any good style guide. They all say there’s no hard-and-fast rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition.
Qachon gap bosh gap bilan tugaydi?
Xo‘sh, gapni bosh gap bilan tugatish haqida nima deyish mumkin?

Oldingi gap bilan tugaydigan jumlaga misol:

Nimaga qadam qo'ydingiz?
Muhim nuqta shundaki, agar siz bosh gapni qoldirsangiz, jumla ishlamaydi. “Nima qadam tashladingiz?” deb ayta olmaysiz. Siz "nimaga qadam qo'ydingiz?" Deyishingiz kerak. grammatik gap tuzish.

Ayni damda sizlardan ba'zilaringiz tishlarini g'ijirlatayotganini eshitib turibman: ""Nima qadam tashladingiz?" Deyishga nima deysiz?" Men taniqli grammatiklarning uzoq va buzib ko‘rsatgan dalillarini o‘qib chiqdim, agar predlog begona bo‘lmasa (1) gaplarni predloglar bilan tugatish nega to‘g‘ri bo‘ladi, lekin asosiy nuqta hali ham “Hech kim bu tarzda gapirmaydi”. Ha, siz: “Siz nimaga qadam qo'ydingiz?” deyishingiz mumkin. lekin hatto grammatikachilar ham sizga kerak deb o'ylamaydilar. Bu odatda pedantik eshitiladi.

Qachon gapni bosh gap bilan yakunlay olmaysiz?
Biroq, siz har doim ham gaplarni old qo'shimchalar bilan yakunlay olmaysiz. O'tgan hafta aytganimdek, agar siz predlogni tark etishingiz mumkin bo'lsa va u ma'noni o'zgartirmasa, uni tark etganingiz ma'qul.

Odamlar gaplashayotganda gap oxirida keraksiz predloglardan foydalanadilar, masalan, "Qaerdasiz?" o'tgan hafta gaplashganimiz. Aytganimdek, ingliz tilida “qaerda”, “qaerda” va “qaerda” uchun uch xil so'z bo'lganligining sababi bor va “qaerda” va “qaerdan” so'zlari tufayli siz deyarli taxmin qilishingiz mumkin edi. odamlar oxir-oqibat "qaerda" deyishadi.

Lekin, va bu katta “lekin”, “Siz qayerdasiz?” iborasining oxiridagi “at” belgisidir. til haqida qayg'uradigan ko'plab odamlarga sakrab tushadi, chunki "at" kerak emas. Agar siz "Qaerdasiz?" Deb so'rasangiz, bu xuddi shu narsani anglatadi va umumiy tuyg'u shundaki, "at" keraksiz bo'lgani uchun uni tark etishingiz kerak.

Keraksiz predloglar

Keraksiz predloglar bilan bog'liq muammo faqat jumlalar oxirida sodir bo'lmaydi. Odamlar ko'pincha keraksiz predloglarni jumlalar o'rtasiga tashlaydilar va ba'zi odamlar buni ham yomon deb o'ylashadi (2). "Squiggly dokdan sakrab tushdi" deyish o'rniga, "Squiggly dokdan sakrab tushdi" degan ma'qul. Ko'ryapsizmi? Siz "dokdan tashqarida" deb aytishingiz shart emas; "Dock off" qo'shimcha predlogsiz xuddi shu narsani aytadi.

Yana bir misol, "tashqarida" bo'lsa, "tashqarida" o'z-o'zidan yaxshi ishlaydi. Siz "u eshikdan tashqarida" deb aytishingiz mumkin, "u eshikdan tashqarida" emas.

Jumlalar frazema fe'llardan oldingi qo'shimchalar bilan tugashi mumkin
Hozirgacha jumlalar oxiridagi predloglarga misollarim hammasi savol edi. Ular alohida holat deb o'ylamasligingiz uchun, biz savol bo'lmagan ba'zi jumlalarni ko'rib chiqamiz.

Ingliz tilida frazema fe'l deb ataladigan fe'l turi mavjud. Bular bir nechta so'zlardan tuzilgan fe'llar bo'lib, biri odatda predlogdir. “Kuch ko‘taring”, “yugurib keting”, “tizimga kiring” va “keting” – bularning barchasi frazemalarga misol bo‘lib, ko‘pincha frazemalardan foydalanadigan jumlalar predlog bilan tugaydi:

Uning ko‘nglini ko‘tarsa edi.
Siz uni tark etishingiz kerak.
Bular juda maqbul jumlalar va ba'zi odamlar oxiridagi so'zlar hatto predlog emas, deb ta'kidlashadi. Ular fe'lni o'zgartiruvchi qo'shimchalar.

Boshqa jumlalar ham predloglar bilan tugashi mumkin

Men diniy jihatdan endi gaplarni predloglar bilan tugatishdan qochmayman. Agar jumlani "to'g'ri" yo'l bilan qayta yozganimda noqulay eshitilsa, men uni oxirida bosh gap bilan qoldiraman. Masalan, men bu jumlani qayta yozmagan bo'lardim.

U o'ziga ma'lum bo'lgan yaxshi hazilni namoyish etdi. (Buni "U o'zi bilgan yaxshi hazilni namoyish etdi" deb qayta yozish mumkin, lekin bu menga juda zerikarli tuyuladi.)

Va yana bir narsa:

Men uning qayerdan kelganini bilmoqchiman. (Buni "Men uning qayerdan kelganini bilmoqchiman" deb qayta yozilishi mumkin, lekin men buni qilmayman.)

Muqova xat grammatikasi
Men bu jumlalarni qayta yozishning hojati yo‘qligini aytdim, men esa yo‘q, lekin gaplarni bosh qo‘shimchalar bilan tugatish noto‘g‘ri degan afsona keng tarqalganligi sababli, ba’zida men aytayotgan bo‘lsam ham, buni qilishdan qochish kerak bo‘ladi. noto'g'ri emas.

Misol uchun, potentsial ish beruvchiga qopqoq maktubi yozayotganingizda, gapni bosh gap bilan tugatmang. Xatni o'qiyotgan odam buni xato deb bilishi mumkin. Ishga ariza berishda har doim eng konservativ grammatika qoidalariga rioya qilishni tavsiya qilaman. Imkoniyatni yo'qotgandan ko'ra, ishga yollanganim ma'qul, chunki mening grammatikam noto'g'ri deb hisoblangan.

Agar ishga yollanganingizdan so‘ng va siz grammatika bo‘yicha bahslashish imkoniyatiga ega bo‘lsangiz, eng yaxshi o‘nta grammatik afsonadan birini yo‘q qilish uchun o‘z hissangizni qo‘shishdan qo‘rqmang va jumlalarni eng yaxshi eshitiladigan predloglar bilan yakunlang. Agar predlog keraksiz bo'lmasa va u o'quvchilar oldida ishonchingizga putur etkazmasa.

Faqat siz (yoki sizning xo'jayiningiz) tinglovchilaringiz buni sezishi yoki g'amxo'rlik qilishini aniqlay olasiz. Va agar sizga zaxira kerak bo'lsa, siz xo'jayiningizga deyarli har qanday yaxshi uslub qo'llanmasini ko'rsatishingiz mumkin. Ularning barchasi gapni bosh gap bilan tugatmaslik haqida qat'iy qoida yo'qligini aytishadi.
