A preposition is a word that links and shows a relationship between some part of the sentence (a noun, pronoun, or phrase) to another word in the sentence, called the object of the preposition.\n\nA prepositional phrase is made up of the preposition, its object, and any modifiers of that object.  The prepositional phrase can function as a noun, adjective, or adverb in the sentence.\n\nHere are some examples, with the prepositional phrases in all caps:\nThe man was standing BEHIND THE DOOR.\nIN THE GARDEN, there are many beautiful flowers.\nThe computer is ON TOP OF MY DESK.

In your first sentence, "posts" should not have an apostrophe because it is not a contraction and is not showing possession.  \n\nYou have proven your own point.

Here are a couple of examples.\n\nIf you could go out with anyone in the world; who would you go out with?\n\nHe's going to kick the football but can he make it in?\n\n\nIt seems to me that the only way you can use these two words at the end of a sentence is when there is a comma or a semicolon used in the sentence.\n\nBut there are always exceptions.  \n\nI hope someone can give you further explanation.

Because the gods of grammar conjugation say so.\n\nIt is an irregular verb.  You just have to memorize it.

I am a native english speaker and have no problem, but i have learned french 10 years ago and speak french every day, and i still have problems with this kind of thing in french. I constantly translate the english preposition etc into french where it doesn't work the same.  maybe you get stuck with your native language's way of doing things.

the end is supposed to remain a mystery, because if you translated it, the meaning would be "lost in translation" \n\nlike how we have phrases in english that people who speak spanish would not understand, like saying "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"

Here is a mental trick.  The MOMENT something is assigned, write the first sentence.  You have started, now you have to finish.

I believe the difference is that the second sentence indicates that you are not expected (supposition) to do something.

I can't believe how many people are answering this incorrectly!  It is two spaces after the end of a sentence, always.\n\nBy the way, you are not ancient.  You should be proud of yourself for returning to school.

I HATE it when they omit the comma.  It makes me confused.  I start to wonder if the last two items are more closely related than the other items.  But every time I try to argue about this to somebody, they tell me to stop being so stuck up about grammar when my own isn't so good.  So I just keep quiet and ignore it.

It's appallingly bad grammar to end a sentence with a preposition. One should never say "Switch the television off" one should always say "Switch off the television". Similarly "Who am I talking to" should be "to whom am I talking" and one should never eat peas with the edge of a knife, pass the port to the right, walk toe down before heel, slurp tea,paint one's knees green, stand in a bucket of custard and sing a revolting song about buggering sheep, fondle donkeys in the drawing room or indecently expose oneself to the ducks in the park. Where is the training in etiquette in young people today??????

Yes, it's the upward inflection at the end of sentences especially amongst younger people. Drives you mad !

lol okay I'll try to explain first of all its [()] only when nessary which is rare.\nNow it gets kind a weird but () can be used both in the middle and at the end of a sentance (with the period like this). But only if its short. (I know its weird but if whats inside is a complete idea and not a momantary pause with short bit of info it can actually go like this.) Hope this helps.

Stop worrying about your feet and work on your english. Why are there question marks after these sentences; they are not questions............

"Grammar"\n\nIn the second half of your continueing sentence you are referring back to the first half when it should be treated as two seperate sentences at a minimum.
