Why shouldn't you end a sentence with a preposition?
A preposition is a part of speech that indicates the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other parts of the sentence. It typically comes before a noun (or pronoun) and shows the noun's relationship to another word in the sentence. Therefore, ending a sentence with a preposition does not show a relationship between a noun and another part of the sentence.
