Actually, this is wrong. There is no need in the English language to avoid
ending sentences with a preposition. It has been used by English speakers
since the "beginning" and has been used by the greatest writers. It was the
whim of some school marm a few generations ago that started this counterfeit
of a rule, and it should be put to rest. In other words, feel free to use a
preposition to end a sentence with. ;-) You aren't breaking any grammar
rule, despite your teacher's protestations otherwise.
