Here, you will learn when you can use a preposition at the end of a sentence and how you can avoid using a preposition at the end of a sentence.
As there is no hard and fast rule regarding the use of a preposition at the end of a sentence, so whether you use it or not at the end of a sentence, it is your choice. But as most people avoid 'excessive' use of prepositions at the end of sentences, you can follow suit and may use them only when they give strength to your language.
Some words (on, off, over, etc.) may be used as both prepositions and adverbs. However, everyone can't easily differentiate between a preposition and an adverb.
