Words you cannot end a sentence with (prepositions?)

Question

From my understanding, you cannot end a sentence with a preposition. However, I also get confused on sentences with what seem to be loose verbs at the ending such as the following "You are more interesting than he is."

I would be so appreciative if an expert can confirm what the rules are for words that you can and cannot use to end sentences with.

Couldn't help noticing that the title that you've chosen for this thread also represents a clause ending with a preposition ( with ).

It's fine to end a sentence with a preposition, though in some cases, ending with a preposition can result in an awkward sentence.

So, in GMAT SC, you're unlikely to see a sentence considered incorrect just because it ends with a preposition. However, it's possible that, if ending with a preposition results in an extremely awkward sentence, the fact that a sentence version ends with a preposition will contribute to that version's not being preferred.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with ending a sentence with a verb.

So, in GMAT SC, a sentence version will never be considered incorrect just because it ends with a verb.

Generally, there are no rules about not ending sentences with certain types of words that you need to be aware of for GMAT SC.
