Proposing a Sentence for My Best Beloved...

My Best Beloved thinks he can correct me on my grammar, and more specifically my practice of ending sentences with prepositions.

Here are a few sentences that end with prepositions:

What is the story about?

That is a sentence that ends with a preposition and I do not know how to turn it around.

Wait! Unintended coincidence:

"Around" is a preposition too!

This stipulation about the proper placement of a preposition is a stupid rule of grammar. I shall disregard it, from now on.

(Yes, my dear, "on" is a preposition.)

One more correction and his head comes off.

Thus, his sentence would be one that ends with a preposition! Hah!

I do not believe I have ever had such fun with language before.
