Final answer:

Ending a sentence with a preposition can improve clarity and naturalness in writing.


Explanation:

Ending a sentence with a preposition is acceptable if it improves clarity and avoids awkwardness or formality. Good professional writers commonly use prepositions at the end of sentences to enhance naturalness in writing:

  • "The car had not been paid for." (Acceptable)
  • "Paid for the car had not been." (Unclear)
  • "I would like to know where she comes from." (Acceptable)
  • "I would like to know from where she comes." (Overly formal)

Remember, while some may prefer avoiding ending sentences with prepositions, it is acknowledged that this practice is linguistically acceptable and can enhance the conversational tone of writing.
