  • Many of us have been told that we shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition. However, English is constantly evolving and it is now super common to hear people finishing their sentences with a proposition, especially in casual everyday English.
    When we use prepositions behind a sentence, we usually call them STRANDED, HANGING or DANGLING prepositions, and this is a common point learners of English usually struggle with. No worries though, cause today's class will clarify all your doubts!
    Stranded prepositions can appear in different situations in our everyday English and if you’d like to learn more about when and how to use those prepositions at the end of a sentence.

    Thank you, teacher Laura for the good lesson you made. Although I have learn the form like this from some English books or videos, I am still not sure where to put the prepositions correctly. But after seeing your lesson video, I think I could be more confidence in making the right sentences. The method you taught is so clear to understand.

      @@EnglishwithLinguivers I have also shared your channel with my children. They are boht in high school age and because we are from Vietnam, a country unfortunately do not use English as a second language, so we find it very difficult to practice English. But most of the people in my country love English and learning for their life.

    Mam, can I say "The road is the thing to what you should pay attention" instead of "The road is the thing that you should pay attention to". It's so puzzling..

      You should definitely use the second version. No native English speaker would ever say the first.

    Yahshua - you know Him as Jesus - was born to a virgin, turned water to wine, taught, healed the sick, raised the dead, casted out demons, walked on water, calmed the storm, and fed a crowd of thousands with a few fish and a few loaves of bread on two separate occasions, among many other things. He was killed on the cross as payment for the sins of all mankind, three days later He rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. He is returning very soon, but before He does, Satan, the devil, is coming to pretend to be Jesus/God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Revelation 2:10). Satan is an angel, and he will have certain supernatural powers with which to try to fool everyone. He will, for example, be able to make fire come down from heaven in the sight of men. He will only be on earth a short time before the real King of Kings, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, returns. When the real Jesus comes we will all be transformed into our spiritual bodies at the same moment. Jesus came in the flesh to offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to anyone who believes and calls on His precious name!
    if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9 KJV..
    Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. - Matthew 26:6-13 KJV
    Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
    Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
    Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
    To anoint your self, the sick, or a building for spiritual protection:
    Get a small bottle of olive oil and pour off a small amount into a smaller vessel like a vial or baby food jar. Use the rest of the bottle for cooking. Ask the Lord to bless your vial of oil in Jesus name. Anoint yourself with the oil by placing a dab of oil on tip of finger and touch it to your forehead, and ask the Lord to bless you/heal you. To anoint your home or other building: place a dab of oil on your finger and anoint the door posts and order all negativity and evil out of the house, and order that nothing negative or evil can enter into your home including piggybacking on a person entering, order it to be so in the name of Jesus. Anoint all potential entrances to your home. To anoint the sick: place oil on tip of finger and touch it to the head of the sick and say a prayer of healing over them in Jesus name. See James Chapter 5:14-15.
