Ending a sentence with the word with

It’s perfectly fine to end a sentence with a preposition, don’t believe any fear-mongering to make you believe otherwise.

Sometimes it may sound awkward, sometimes it’s more suitable for informal writing, but there is no prohibition against it.

Having to read comics about grammar jokes, I guess that’s something I could live with.

However, the examples you cited don’t sound like correct grammar to me. It’s not because they end with with, it’s the fact that they omit the personal pronoun:

Do you want to come with us?

Can I come with you?

They’re informal speech patterns, and yes, there are grating, kind of like asking «How are you?» and getting «Thanks, I’m doing good.»

Antonym: without. Similar words: without, within, go with, do with, down with, meet with, go without, do without. Meaning: [wɪð]  prep.1. accompanied by; accompanying: I will go with you. He fought with his brother against the enemy. 2. in some particular relation to (esp. implying interaction, company, association, conjunction, or connection): I dealt with the problem. She agreed with me. 3. characterized by or having: a person with initiative. 4. (of means or instrument) by the use of; using: to line a coat with silk; to cut with a knife. 5. (of manner) using or showing: to work with diligence. 6. in correspondence, comparison, or proportion to: Their power increased with their number. How does their plan compare with ours? 7. in regard to: to be pleased with a gift. 8. (of cause) owing to: to die with pneumonia; to pale with fear. 9. in the region, sphere, or view of: It is day with us while it is night with the Chinese. 10. (of separation) from: to part with a thing. 11. against, as in opposition or competition: He fought with his brother over the inheritance. 12. in the keeping or service of: to leave something with a friend. 13. in affecting the judgment, estimation, or consideration of: Her argument carried a lot of weight with the trustees. 14. at the same time as or immediately after; upon: And with that last remark, she turned and left. 15. of the same opinion or conviction as: Are you with me or against me? 16. in proximity to or in the same household as: He lives with his parents. 17. (used as a function word to specify an additional circumstance or condition): We climbed the hill, with Jeff following behind. 18. in with. See in (def. 22). 19. with child, pregnant. 20. with it, Slang. knowledgeable about, sympathetic to, or partaking of the most up-to-date trends, fashions, art, etc. representing or characterized by the most up-to-date trends, fashions, art, etc. 21. with that.

Ending a sentence with a preposition (such as with, of, and to) is permissible in the English language. It seems that the idea that this should be avoided originated with writers Joshua Poole and John Dryden, who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong. Nonetheless, the idea that it is a rule is still held by many.

When one looks back over the glorious and bloodstained history of grammar and usage wars, it quickly becomes apparent that many of the things which got our ancestors in a swivet no longer bother us very much. George Fox, the founder of the Religious Society of Friends, was so upset that people were using you (instead of thou) to address a single person that in 1660 he wrote an entire book about it. «Is he not a Novice,» Fox wrote, «and Unmannerly, and an Ideot, and a Fool, that speaks You to one, which is not to be spoken to a singular, but to many?» The rest of us have pretty much moved on.

churchill

In regard to the rule against ending a sentence with a preposition, Churchill is famous for saying «This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.» However, it’s unlikely that he ever said such a thing.

And then there are some prohibitions which have a curiously tenacious ability to stick around (such as not beginning a sentence with and), in defiance of common sense, grammar experts, and the way that actual people use the English language. Perhaps the most notable example of such is the rule against ending a sentence with a preposition (also known as preposition stranding, or sentence-terminal prepositions, for those of you who would like to impress/alienate your friends).

Where did this rule come from?

There is some disagreement as to how we came to cluck our tongues at people who finish off their sentences with an of, to, or through, but it is agreed that it’s been bothering people for a very long time. Many people believe that the rule originated with the 17th century poet John Dryden, who in 1672 chastised Ben Jonson: «The preposition in the end of the sentence; a common fault with him.” Jonson probably didn’t take much heed of this admonition, seeing as how he was dead, but untold millions of people have suffered in the subsequent years as a result.

Nuria Yáñez-Bouza has proposed an alternate theory: she discovered that, several decades prior to Dryden, an obscure grammarian named Joshua Poole took a similar position in his book The English Accidence. Poole was more concerned with prepositions being placed in «their naturall order,» and did not mention the end of the sentence as specifically as Dryden did.

If we are to be fair we may credit Poole for creating the rule, and Dryden for popularizing it. Both Dryden and Poole were likely motivated by a desire to make English grammar more in line with Latin, a language in which sentences syntactically cannot end in prepositions.

In the 18th century, a number of people who liked telling other people that they were wrong decided Dryden was correct and began advising against the terminal preposition. Sometimes, the advice was to not end a sentence with a preposition. At other times it was more general, as Poole’s rule was. For instance, Noah Webster, in his 1784 book on grammar, took care to advise against separating prepositions «from the words which they govern.» He did allow that «grammarians seem to allow of this mode of expression in conversation and familiar writings, but it is generally considered inelegant, and in the grave and sublime styles, is certainly inadmissible.»

However, by the time the 20th century rolled around most grammar and usage guides had come to the conclusion that there was really nothing wrong with terminal prepositions. In fact, there has been, for about 100 years now, near unanimity in this regard from usage guides. The matter must therefore be settled, mustn’t it?

No, it must not. A quick look at newspapers from the past year indicates that there are still a number of people who find the terminal preposition an abomination, enough so that they are willing—perhaps, one imagines, even eager—to write letters to the editor of any newspaper in which they find it.

Why do both editorial and letter writers have to flagrantly split the infinitive? And lastly, ending a sentence with a preposition is something we can do without!
— letter to Daily Camera (Boulder, CO), 17 February 2016

I would think a State Columnist would know correct English, unless this was done to get people’s attention. It sure got mine. The first sentence of the second paragraph, «Here’s where we’re at». Really…No sentence should end in a preposition. It should be, «Here’s where we are». If it wasn’t done on purpose, I would suggest Patrick go back to English Grammar 101 before he writes his next column.
— letter to Asheville (NC) Citizen-Times, 15 February 2016

Conventional wisdom would figure that a Canadian citizen is a Canadian, regardless of status. Plus, you’re not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition.
The Star Phoenix (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan), 25 September 2015

It would appear that some people are determined to hold on to this rule, no matter how many times they are informed that it really isn’t one. In a similar vein, many people who like to use terminal prepositions will give some mangled version of a quote from Winston Churchill, «This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.» The linguist Ben Zimmer has conclusively demonstrated that, as is the case with so many Churchill quotes, this was almost certainly never said by him.

If you don’t like to end your sentences with prepositions, you don’t have to—just don’t say that it is a rule. And if you like to end your sentences with a succinct with, go right ahead and keep doing so—just don’t quote Winston Churchill when someone says that you shouldn’t.

As you see from previoius posts, many people do not think it is a grammatical error to end a sentence with a preposition. The preposition at the end of your sentence does not trouble me. From my point of view, ending a sentence with a preposition is a problem only if it makes the sentence difficult to understand.

I had never heard chamyto’s rule, but it makes sense. It is especially difficult to avoid ending a question with a preposition.

(I know that people do use «help us with» as a way of saying «give us». However, in your sentence I would prefer to say:

«Do you have any training material specific to British and Irish accents that you can give us

This is not to avoid ending the sentence with a preposition, but simply because I prefer to use «help us with» differently.

Do you have any training material that will help us with our study of accents?

Starting a sentence with “with” doesn’t have to come with a whole set of rules. In fact, there are no rules that tell you that you can or can’t start sentences with certain words. This article will explore how you might be able to use “with” to start a sentence.

You can start a sentence with “with” when it’s part of a dependent clause that goes on to include further information. You can also do so when you’re signing a letter with a phrase like “with love” or “with best wishes.” It means that we’re including something extra.

Can You Start A Sentence With "With"?

Typically, we use “with” at the start of a sentence to talk about something that has had an obvious impact or effect on something else. We’ll start the first clause with “with” and then include the effect in the second clause.

It’s impossible to set up a dependent clause starting with “with” without a second clause, so we always need to make sure we are using a comma in the middle of the sentence to break up clauses.

What Does “With” Mean At The Beginning Of A Sentence?

Now that we’ve told you it’s possible, it’s time to go a little further in detail.

At the beginning of a sentence, “with” means that something is happening as a result of something else. It is synonymous with “because” and shows that something happens as a result of something else.

The definition of “with,” according to The Cambridge Dictionary, is “because of or caused by someone or something.”

It’s best to use “with” at the start of a sentence when you want to explain an event further in the sentence. It’s also possible to switch the “with” clause around so that it comes after the second clause. Both methods of writing are correct:

  • With the upcoming exams, it’s been hard to talk to her about anything.
  • It’s been hard to talk to her about anything with the upcoming exams.

The only difference is that “with” doesn’t become part of a second clause when you include it at the end of a sentence.

Examples Of How To Use “With” At The Beginning Of A Sentence

To help explain how “with” begins a sentence, we’ll cover some helpful examples. From there, you’ll have a much better understanding of how you can begin a sentence with “with.”

  1. With all the changes coming up, it’s been tough for me to know how to carry myself around here.
  2. With the email that my boss sent to me out in the open, I don’t know what I’m going to do next.
  3. With the upcoming event taking up all my time, it’s going to be impossible for me to enjoy my social life.
  4. With all those things out of the way, I’ve got plenty of time to have some fun again.
  5. With all that said and done, there’s not much left for us to discuss.
  6. With love from your favorite son.
  7. With the consequences of the things I said, I’ve made sure that the people in my closest circle will be okay.

It’s most common to start a sentence with “with” when we want to talk about something that happened as a result of the following clause. The effect is usually explained in the second part of the sentence.

Where Should I Place The Comma When Using “With” At The Beginning Of A Sentence?

Comma and punctuation rules when starting sentences with words like “with” can get tricky. However, we’ll explain how to punctuate “with” correctly when you choose to use it in this way.

You do not need to place a comma directly after with” when you start a sentence with it. Instead, you need to wait until the end of the dependent clause to place the comma so that you can separate the two clauses from each other.

To help you understand this, we can show you some examples:

  • Correct: With all of that finally out of the way, I’m free to do the things that I want to do.
  • Incorrect: With all of that finally out of the way I’m free to do the things that I want to do.

The first example is correct because we include a comma after “way,” which indicates the end of the first clause. The second example is incorrect because there isn’t a comma to break up the two clauses.

Is It Informal To Start A Sentence With “With”?

Next, we’ll talk about the formality of starting a phrase in this way. You’ll be able to use it in professional settings once you understand whether it works.

It is not informal to start a sentence with “with,” and it’s a great way to introduce a causal effect of something. We can use it in both formal and informal writing to talk about something that might have happened as a result of something else.

Typically, we’ll see “with” at the start of a sentence in more formal situations because it comes with a cause and effect. It’s not often that you’ll use cause and effect sentence structures like this in informal situations.

Alternatives To Starting A Sentence With “With”

If you’re struggling with understanding how “with” works at the start of a sentence, or you’d rather try a different phrase to see if you’ve mastered the meaning, we’ve got a list for you. These synonyms will work well to replace “with” and have the same meaning.

  • Because of
  • As a result of
  • Due to
  • For the reason that
  • Owing to the fact that

Can You End A Sentence With “With”?

You can also end a sentence with “with,” but only in very rare cases. It works best when you use it as a preposition to show who or what you might be doing something with. In any other case, there are no reasons why you would end a sentence with “with.”

  • Who are you going with?
  • I haven’t got anyone to go with.
  • Who are you going to town with?

can you start a sentence with with

Grammar rules around prepositions like with are confusing. Can you start a sentence with with? The answer is yes, you can.

Whenever you aren’t sure about the structure of your sentences, you can run it through ProWritingAid’s free grammar checker. We’ll find all your grammar and syntax errors to keep your writing error-free.

Let’s take a closer look at how and when to start a sentence with with.

When Can You Start a Sentence With With?

You can begin a sentence with prepositions such as “with.” This rule applies to both formal writing and informal writing.

When a sentence starts with the word with, it’s usually a complex or compound-complex sentence.

A complex sentence combines an independent clause with at least one dependent clause. A compound-complex sentence combines one or more dependent clauses with two independent clauses.

You can start a sentence with with

A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, does not express a complete thought and can’t stand on its own as a sentence. Certain words, such as with, are clues that you have a subordinate clause.

Take a look at this example sentence:

  • With a heavy heart, the owner announced the restaurant was closing.

“With a heavy heart” is a subordinate clause. “The owner announced the restaurant was closing” is an independent clause. Together, these form a grammatically correct sentence that begins with with.

How to Punctuate a Sentence Starting With With

Because with at the beginning of a sentence is part of a dependent clause, there’s only one way to punctuate this type of sentence.

Whenever you start a sentence with a subordinate clause, you should place a comma after the subordinate clause and before the independent clause.

Use this formula for this type of sentence structure:

Subordinate clause + comma + independent clause

Then you’ll end the sentence with the appropriate ending mark, or in the case of compound-complex sentences, with another independent clause.

In short, always use a comma after a subordinate clause beginning with with at the start of a sentence.

Notice that this differs from ending a sentence with a subordinate clause. When independent clauses precede dependent clauses, no comma is necessary.

Examples of Starting a Sentence With With

Let’s check out some examples of sentences that begin with the word with.

  • With only a backpack and a map, Jane set out on the greatest adventure of her life.
  • With help from her child, the mother put away all the toys.
  • With his wife’s approval, John booked a family vacation to Disney World.
  • With a little elbow grease and some bleach, you can get the stain off the tile floor, and it will look brand new.
  • With any luck, the rain will stay away until after our barbecue.
  • With the new, larger wrench, I can change the oil in the car much quicker.
  • With a library card, you can check out unlimited books and movies for free.
  • With a smile on her face, she handed her rude boss her letter of resignation.
  • With carrots, celery, and onion, you can make a mirepoix, which is a base for many French dishes.
  • With only basic knowledge about computers, I often have to ask an expert for help when something happens to my laptop.

Alternatives to Starting Sentences With With

Many prepositions, such as with, can act as a subordinating conjunction and begin a subordinate clause. Let’s explore some other prepositions that you can start a sentence with.

The rule about putting a comma after the dependent clause still applies. If you open a sentence with one of these prepositions, be sure to put a comma before your independent clause.

Can You Start a Sentence With By?

By is a preposition that refers to how something is achieved. You can use by at the beginning of a sentence.

Here’s an example:

  • By using ProWritingAid, you can improve your written communication skills.

Can You Start a Sentence With To?

To is one of the most commonly used prepositions in English. It has many definitions and uses. You can also use to to begin a sentence. Take a look at the sentence below.

  • To get to the library, take a left on Main St. and a right on Second Ave.

Can You Start a Sentence With From?

From is a preposition that refers to a point of origin, whether in time or space. You can start a sentence with from, as in the example below.

  • From the first time I saw you, I knew we could be great friends.

Can You Start a Sentence With Which?

Which can be both a preposition or, more commonly, a pronoun.

The preposition which doesn’t commonly begin sentences. As a preposition, which shows an effect of the preceding clause. This makes it difficult to place the dependent clause with which before an independent clause.

However, when which acts as a pronoun, it can begin a sentence.

Here’s an example:

  • Which dress do you prefer: the red one or the green one?

Conclusion on Can You Start a Sentence With With?

Prepositions like with often function as subordinating conjunctions. When we place these at the beginning of a sentence and combine them with an independent clause, we can make a complex sentence.

There’s nothing wrong with starting a sentence with with. Just be sure to place a comma after the clause so that you are punctuating the sentence correctly.

But don’t start too many sentences in a row with with. Sentence variety is important for good writing. ProWritingAid’s Style Report will point out whenever you’ve started three or more sentences in a row with with.

You’ve probably heard that you can never, under any circumstances, use a preposition at the end of a sentence. However, there are plenty of opportunities to use a preposition in this manner, and if it makes your sentence sound more natural, it is absolutely acceptable. 

Below we review what a preposition is, how it can be used, when it is acceptable to end a sentence with one, and how to make corrections when it may be frowned upon. Use these rules and examples to ensure your writing is clear and concise. 

Can I End a Sentence With a Preposition?

Ending a sentence with a preposition is acceptable during informal writing and casual conversation. It is frowned upon when used in a formal context or when the preposition is missing an object. 

What is a Preposition?

A preposition is a word or group of words that show direction, time, location, place, spatial relationships, or introduce an object. They are relationship words used before a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun and are crucial for effective communication. 

There are over a hundred prepositions you can take advantage of, but the most common are those we use in everyday speech and writing. Frequently used prepositions include:

about above across
after against along
among around as
at before behind
between but by
during except for
from in like
next to of off
on over past
than through to
until up with

Ending a Sentence With a Preposition: When You Can and When You Can’t

There are various instances when you can and can’t use prepositions at the end of a sentence. We use them more often in speech than in writing due to the higher instances of casual conversation we involve ourselves with (see what I did there?). But, it is entirely acceptable to use them in writing as well to create an informal tone. 

However, avoid them during formal instances, and make sure you present your words properly. 

When to End a Sentence With a Preposition

There are many opportunities to use a preposition at the end of a sentence. The phrasing of these sentences is generally more conversational and, therefore, much more relaxed. 

In Informal Conversation and Writing

Informal settings allow for prepositional endings in conversation and writing. You most likely already do it when speaking to friends and family or in a casual atmosphere. It might also sound awkward not to use a preposition at the end, making it acceptable in this scenario as well. 

For Example:

  • Who are you talking about?
  • I have no idea what I’m hungry for. Vs. I have no idea for what I’m hungry. 

If the Preposition Is Part of an Informal Phrase

When the preposition is included in an informal phrase at the end of a sentence, its use is also acceptable. 

For Example:

  • Six excited preschoolers were almost too much to put up with. 

When an Idiom or Colloquialism Ends a Sentence

Some idioms and colloquialisms end in prepositions, and if you use them in sentences, they are appropriate to place at the end as well. 

For Example:

  • A good mechanic is hard to come by.

When NOT to End a Sentence With a Preposition

When speaking or writing to people you may not know for work or school assignments, it is best to take a more formal approach and avoid end of sentence prepositional use. When proofreading and editing these types of examples, consider moving prepositions within the sentences. 

In Formal Writing

The audience usually determines formal writing. If you are writing for work, an event, or to people you want to communicate clearly and concisely to, avoid the informal tone suggested with the placement of prepositions at the end of a sentence. 

For Example:

  • The early Triassic is the era on which I’m focused. Vs. the early Triassic is the area I’m focused on. 
  • Romantic literature is a subject about which Ruby knows nothing. Vs. Romantic literature is a subject Ruby knows nothing about. 

Prepositions and the Passive Voice

A passive voice in writing occurs when you might not know the subject of a sentence, or who is performing an action. It ends in a preposition and is easy to correct. However, there is nothing wrong with using it, even though traditional grammarians consider it a no-no. Just be sure that you have no other way to clarify the sentence without it sounding awkward. 

For Example:

  • The game has been called off. Vs. The game was rescheduled.
  • The issue was dealt with. Vs. The boss dealt with the issue. 

Unnecessary Prepositions

Sometimes, sentences end with a preposition because too many are in the sentence. These are easy to edit for clarity and to help avoid wordiness. 

For Example:

  • The whites and colored laundry need to be separated out. Vs. The whites and colored laundry need to be separated.
  • Sanna is confused about where she is going to. Vs. Sanna is confused about where she is going. 

Examples of Using Prepositions at the End of Sentences 

As with many grammar and usage rules, the question of whether or not to end sentences with prepositions is ultimately a matter of taste. 

These arbitrary rules have never hampered great writers and influencers, and sentence-ending prepositions can be found in some of the most beautiful writing in the English language. 

Ending a Sentence With “Is”

  • Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.  [Vince Lombardi]

Ending a Sentence with “On”

  • When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.  [Franklin D. Roosevelt]
  • In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on. [Robert Frost]

Ending a Sentence With “Up”

  • Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. [Thomas A. Edison]

Ending a Sentence With “With”

  • Finn the Red-Handed had stolen a skillet and a quantity of half-cured leaf tobacco, and had also brought a few corn-cobs to make pipes with. [Mark Twain]

Ending a Sentences With “To”

  • There was a little money left, but to Mrs. Bart, it seemed worse than nothing the mere mockery of what she was entitled to. [Edith Wharton]
  • It’s funny. All one has to do is say something nobody understands and they’ll do practically anything you want them to. [J D Salinger]

Ending a Sentence With “Of”

  • Mr. Barsad saw losing cards in it that Sydney Carton knew nothing of. [Charles Dickens]

Ending a Sentence With “For”

  • Then she remembered what she had been waiting for. [James Joyce]
  • There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for. [J.RR. Tolkein]

Ending a Sentence With “Out”

  • Time, which sees all things, has found you out. [Oedipus]
  • Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out. [John Wooden]

Ending a Sentence with “Over”

  • For you, a thousand times over. [Khaled Hosseini]

Let’s Review and a Worksheet to Download

Although we use many prepositions in everyday language, some of the most common ones make their way to the end of a sentence. This use is often casual and works to help a sentence flow. However, you want to avoid their use in formal settings if you can. Also, look for unnecessary use even in an informal situation, and correct the sentence for clarity.

sentence with — перевод на русский

I said, «Andreas, you can’t start a sentence with ‘or.»‘

Я сказал «Андреас, ты не можешь начинать предложение с «или»

If I want to start a sentence with a full stop, I will.

Если я захочу начать предложение с точки — я сделаю это.

Do you have to start every sentence with «Chan»?

Тебе обязательно начинать каждое предложение с «чан»?

For example, I can instantly deduce that when someone hears the name Paris in the same sentence with the word date, jaws will drop, confused looks will cover faces, words like ‘how’ and ‘why’ and ‘Quick, Bob, get the children in the minivan

Например, я могу немедленно сказать, что когда кто то слышит имя Пэрис в одном предложении со словом свидание, челюсть упадет, перепуганные взгляды покроют лица и слова типа «как» и «почему» и «Быстро, Боб, посади детей в микроавтобус

So you’re the reason my little sister ends so many sentences with dangling prepositions.
