preposition.noun, plural.prepositions
a word that is used before a noun, pronoun or gerund to show place, time, direction etc.; in the phrase 'the trees in the park', 'in' is a preposition; a relation word that connects a noun, pronoun or noun phrase to another part of the sentence, such as in, as, for, with, to; preposition means 'a putting before'; there is nothing in the rules of grammar to suggest that ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong (what was that done for?)

English syntax allows and sometimes requires final placement of the preposition. Such placement is the only possible one in sentences such as 'We have much to be thankful for' or 'That depends on what you believe in'. 

Efforts to rewrite such sentences to place the preposition elsewhere will have comically stilted results; for example ('we have much for which to be thankful' or 'that depends on that in which you believe')

Even sticklers for the traditional rule (a preposition may not be used to end a sentence) can have no grounds for criticizing sentences such as 'I don't know where she will end up' or 'It's the most curious book I've ever run across'. In these examples, up and across are used as adverbs, not prepositions, as demonstrated by the ungrammaticality of sentences such as 'I don't know up where she will end' and 'It's the most curious book across which I have ever run'.
