So glad you asked. Here you go...ready ?
Prepositions may be short words (in, for, on, to), long words (alongside, concerning), or groups of words (in spite of, as far as). But they all do the same thing. They show the relationship of one word (usually a noun or a pronoun) to some other word in the sentence. Some of the relations are:
Position__"The book is (on) the table."
Direction__"He walked (toward) the door."
Time__"She left (before) him."
Words frequently used as prepositions are (at, between, by, down, for, in, of, on, over, toward, up, with).

See the end of this paragraph.
A little boy was sitting up in his bed, waiting for his daddy to retrieve a particular storybook from the living room downstairs. Father came in to his room with the wrong book, however. Disappointed, the boy asked, "What did you bring the book I didn't want to be read to out of up for?"

under, over, around, about, ontop, toward, etc.,.....
anyway.....you can end a sentence with a preposition. Its just how you are using it. It is not a steadfast rule. m
