When someone says but at the end of a sentence?
“But” is often used at the end of a sentence to say that something or someone is the antithesis of something else.
Can you say also at the end of a sentence?
That said, it is totally fine to end a sentence with too or also, as long as the sentence makes sense when you do so (the too or also has something to refer to!)
Is it grammatically correct to end a sentence with is?
There’s no rule that forbids it and there’s no reason not to use “is” at the end of a sentence if it works, e.g., “I don’t know who’s crazier, you or your uncle Bob, but I think that your uncle Bob is”.
Why do people say so at the end of their sentences?
Because the word’s traditional function is to connect two clauses or ideas, when you hear a “so,” you expect something to follow—an upshot or a conclusion of some kind. Thus a “so” followed by a period, or an ellipses as the case may be, indicates that there is an upshot being implied there.
What difference between in the end and at the end?
Simply put, at the end refers to a specific time or location, whilst in the end is an idiomatic phrase that means in conclusion or in summary.
Is it too or to at the end of a sentence?
To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.” Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Is also too grammatically correct?
‘Also’ and ‘too’ are adverbs that mean the same but should be used in different ways. 2. ‘Also’ should be used before the verb. ‘Too’, on the other hand, should be placed at the end of a clause.
Is it correct to say where are you at?
Why can’t you just say “Where are you?” Having “at” at the end does nothing for the sentence, and the sentence cannot be retooled to make sense while including “at.” (link) A preposition is a fine word to end a sentence with but the “at” in “Where are you at?” (or “At where are you?”) is just incorrect.
Is it rude to say OK at the end of sentences?
So “OK” at the end of a sentence is not usually mean or rude. It is used as as an affirmative instead of yes, all right, certainly, it is. Some people get into a habit of saying OK at the end of every sentence especially if they are demonstrating or explaining.
Is it rude to say ‘please’ instead of ‘Thank You’?
‘Don’t forget your please and thank you!’ was perhaps your grandmother’s way of saying ‘try to be polite.’ Yet while ‘ thank you ‘ is still important to civilized discourse, I find that ‘ please ‘ has almost the opposite effect in American English. It can make a question sound urgent, blunt, and even downright rude.
Is it OK to ask “OK” at the end of a sentence?
When people add “OK?” to the end of their emphatic statements, this is manipulative. Don’t ask “OK?” unless you are inviting a sincere response. If there is no interest in the listener’s opinion, but only in cornering them into agreeing, the question is nothing but a control tactic.
Is it rude to say “OK” in the military?
In the military, you might reply by saying “roger”. So saying “OK?” to me can be either about control, making a mutual agreement or simply conveying useful information to another person. It seems only offensive, mean or rude in the first instance.
