It doesn’t matter if “to” is meant to denote a prepositional phrase or not. “To” is always a preposition, no matter how it is used, as are all other prepositions. That is why they are called “prepositions,” not “sometimes-prepositions-but-only-if-you-mean-them-that-way.”
A young boy is waiting for his father to come upstairs and read him a bedtime story from his favourite book. The father appears, but has brought the wrong book. The boy, seeing this, sighs, and asks, ‘Daddy, what did you bring that book I don’t want to be read to out of up for?’
Yes, sir! In fact, there is not, nor has there ever been, any grammatical reason (from what I’ve studied) NOT to use a preposition at the end of a sentence, unless, of course, that end word makes no sense with the rest of the sentence. I’ve studied English from way before it was even considered English all the way up to today’s different forms of English, and the only reason people think sentences shouldn’t end in prepositions seems to be because it just doesn’t sound or look right. It’s completely grammatically correct, though.

Hope it only works in Arizona just to have the owner in jail to provide illegal work to illegal employees… and then he has not other choice than to play mafia wars…
uh, no. it’s not called “Reverse Racism.” it’s just Racism >_>like sexism isn’t called reverse sexism if it’s against men. Race= all colors. also, i apologize if you were joking or being sarcastic. text tones are hard to read sometimes
im a white republicain and think this is f**kin stupid and ya’ll need to find better things to do lol and arizona is f**ed up were all humans jus tryin to survive y dont we spend more time catching rapist and killers not illegals who r here to make a better life….
Look bro, I live in Arizona and I can honestly say that the illegals are a huge problem. Most of them can’t speak or read English, so they can’t understand our laws. This just makes everything a huge hassle when normal Americans have to deal with them.
And it applies to all illegals, not just ones from Mexico.
i agree with you… i too live in arizona, and i say if they want to come in to our country… they should do it the right way… most illegals, are smagling crap that we DONT need… for instance, would you really want to put your kids at risk, of illegal drugs… theres a reason behind the word illegal look it up! this is a MUCH needed law. and you idoits pissing all over my state is getting old!!
Lets wait for the other states to do the same as Arizona and watch USA going down i live in Arizona and i think its fu***ed up what they did
america needs some illegals,u ask y? well most of americans are lazy so they hire inmigrants,when we dont have them most americans wont know what to do
What Arizona is doing right now is amazing. Sarah, you say that “We” should spend more time catching rapists and killers not illegals…well a majority of illegals are in fact criminals (rapists, killers, kidnappers, etc.) so you should probably do a little research before you badly represent arizona and “republicain”s.
a majority of illegals? a majority are killers, kidnappers and rapists. where do you get your numbers from? maybe you should do a little research. no where on earth is there a population where the majority are killers, kidnappers and rapists…they would all kill each other off. you are just showing what an ignorant piece of white trash you really are.
A majority of the ILLEGALS, maybe. Perhaps even a majority of the rapists, killers, and kidnappers are illegal immigrants. Also, ever heard of a little place called Darfur, red stripe?
bien dicho Juan. as illegal is an immigrant in Arizona as US soldiers in Irak.
I don’t really care if some of those soldiers are tortured to death as happened with an immigrant recently in Arizona. they killed innocent ppl there as they did with the “dangerous” 13 y.o boy in the border last week.
… this is the kind of conversation that makes hatred against US grow all over the world.
If anyone has even bothered to read the actual law. The police cannot pull someone over just because they believe them to be an illegal, the person must have broken a law first, of commited a traffic violation. And it is not racial profiling either, Arizona just does not have that many illegals from other countries, most are from Mexico, therefore most of the illegals will be Mexician. People should acctually read up on the law first before calling it a racist anti-Mexician law.
Yes, but the law also states that citizens may SUE THE POLICE, if they feel the law has not been adequately enforced. That says to me that a few racist bigots can essentially force the police to profile people, so as not to appear soft on those who the bigots perceive are illegal immigrants. That is part of what has so many people upset about the law. I see nothing wrong with it personally, legals carry their papers the same way I carry my license and registration. It isn’t too much to ask, the problem stems from the other parts of the bill you fail to mention.
I read the whole damn thing, and what most of the people here (LA county) are worried about has absolutely nothing to do with the law itself. Everyone thinks Arizona passed something along the lines of, “Deport everyone not carrying their birth certificate.”
BOOOO! hey im from arizona, and you idiots pissing all over my state is getting real freckin old… and a this is a MUCH need law! get over it. god!! y’all suck!
Haha Miss and Mister Grammar. Don’t wanna be a troll, but you guys just sound like bunch of show offs. I don’t have a diploma in english or anything, but it is enough for you guys to- you know, explain the necessary. No need to go over the subject. We all know you’re smart.
Racist? No mention of race OR ETHNICITY is made in the message — they’re simply illegal immigrants. If you look at the image, there are three immigrants WITH THREE DIFFERENT skin tones. In short, it appears that FarmVillain has gone out of their way to make this definitively non-racist.
If you inferred a specific race or ethnicity when reading the message, that speaks more towards your own stereotyping issues, which you should probably seek help for.
It’s fail, because it calls them illegal, and yet it says they have “lost” their passports. if they had passports they would be legal, at least in theory. very funny though.
hahaha awesome. stupid frakkin farmville.
That’s not Farmville
You fail, its not even Farmville.
As you can see, it’s farmvillain, which, I wouldn’t mind checking out.
OLD
it’s a joke”game” based on farmville,you can send weed,hump your neighbours lambs….
the poor lambs
typical……
Sure, because nothing is such a lovely gift as illegal immigrant workers.
This is stupid…farmvillian is not a fail. its a win.
I agree ^^
yes…
It really is not a fail.
I don’t even see anything…just the title. where’s the joke?
Yeah, I don’t see anything either.
Margo, we are having technical issues at the moment. We are on it!
Your technical issues are that you don’t know win from fail.
OWNED!!!
TRIPLE WIN!
“Minimal wage is the dream many of these people have come in search of.”
Stop. ending. sentences. in. prepositions.
I’ll end sentences in prepositions if I want to.
Haha! Perfect example!!
It would be if the to in that sentence was being used as a preposition.
It doesn’t matter if “to” is meant to denote a prepositional phrase or not. “To” is always a preposition, no matter how it is used, as are all other prepositions. That is why they are called “prepositions,” not “sometimes-prepositions-but-only-if-you-mean-them-that-way.”
WIN!
Right because every word in English had only one use. Well I think that well explains the well being of the well in the backyard.
“To” is not always a preposition, especially in its use in infinitive verbs.
…actually i’m pretty sure that in that sentence it’s an adverb…
Ending sentences with prepositions is something with which I simply will not put.
Even better in Churchill’s original: “This is the sort of arrant pedantry up with which I shall not put!”
And BTW, Miss Grammar, “to” in that sentence isn’t a preposition. It’s the first half of an infinitive in which the second part is implied (“end”)
Thank you – I’ve heard a variation on that quote many times but never actually known the original quote until now!
uh…..you can end sentences like that…
Ending sentences in prepositions is perfectly fine.
Technically, yes. But when written, it hurts my eyes ><
A young boy is waiting for his father to come upstairs and read him a bedtime story from his favourite book. The father appears, but has brought the wrong book. The boy, seeing this, sighs, and asks, ‘Daddy, what did you bring that book I don’t want to be read to out of up for?’
Someone please explain this to me! Maybe I’m an idiot because I don’t get this!
The sentence ends in five prepositions in a row.
As someone who has a Master’s degree in English, I agree with Mister Grammar. Ending sentences in prepositions is perfectly fine.
Prepositions are acceptable words to end sentences with?
Yes, sir! In fact, there is not, nor has there ever been, any grammatical reason (from what I’ve studied) NOT to use a preposition at the end of a sentence, unless, of course, that end word makes no sense with the rest of the sentence.

Haha, wow, I must be more tired than I thought today. I just caught what you did there!
haha Mister and Misses Grammar!
Sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
rule 34 strikes again
Indecent prepositions
Ending sentences in prepositions is something up with which I will not put!

I have no doubt in my mind that a white republican would love this
Spoken like a true racist.
He’s not a racist! La Raza said only white people can be racist. I’m super cereal.
Yeah, when people are racist to white people, it’s called “Reverse Racism”

if anyone hates me thats your problem i dont care
If they want to make a better life for themselves they can start by not breaking the law to get here.
A ‘white republicain” badly in need of English lessons, too.
Fear not, help is at hand. Many Mr, Mrs, Ms and Miss Grammars abound on this forum.
I LOVE IT because Farmville is crap! Its more like FarmVile
Oh, that was so clever.

Doesn’t the word illegal imply that they are ALL criminals?
Shhhhh. That’s supposed to be a secret.
As you in Irak…
bien dicho Juan. as illegal is an immigrant in Arizona as US soldiers in Irak.

Dear Failbook:
1. FarmVillain is always a win. They simply don’t know how to fail.
2. Being in ANY country (other than your own) without a passport is almost ALWAYS illegal. (There are a *very small* number of exceptions.)
Thanks for playing!
BOOOO! hey im from arizona, and you idiots pissing all over my state is getting real freckin old… and a this is a MUCH need law! get over it. god!! y’all suck!
take passports now, LOL, holy crap.

¿Que pasaría si ustedes, gringos, fueran los que se van de su país? Jodidos racistas…
Llola un poco mas, sr. Perez. Es una broma.

How do you even access this? I’ve looked it up, but it never shows.
It’s fail, because it calls them illegal, and yet it says they have “lost” their passports. if they had passports they would be legal, at least in theory. very funny though.
I have a passport, but that doesn’t mean I can fly into Russia and start busing tables.
haha farmvillain
