There are numerous myths relating to grammatical dos and don’ts, many of which were drummed into us at school. The one that stubbornly refuses to budge from my mind is the diktat "never begin a sentence with a conjunction such as and or but" and "never end a sentence with preposition such as about, with, on, etc." but I would like to hear from all if it is perfectly natural to end a sentence with preposition in modern English?
