The preposition at is used before an object of the preposition in a sentence. It should not be used at the end of a sentence. Examples: "I was at the store." - Correct (store is the object of the preposition.)

"Where is my phone at?" - Incorrect Instead, one would say, "Where is my phone?"

Can you sometimes end a sentence with preposition?

What are you talking about? A preposition is the worst thing in the world to end a sentence with. This is unheard of. This is a habit that you should stay far away from. Rearranging the sentence to remove the preposition from the end of the sentence is the rule that you should abide by.(Hopefully, you have picked up on the sarcasm by this time. Each sentence in the above paragraph ends with a preposition, and all are grammatically correct. There is no rule, at least in the English language, that forbids ending a sentence with a preposition, whether written or spoken, formal or informal.)

Is it proper grammar to begin a sentence with a preposition?

At times one will encounter the misperception that it is improper to end a sentence with a prepositions. About this no more need be said as that topic is extensively discussed in a separate question. To address the present question, almost no one would argue that there is anything incorrect about starting a sentence with a preposition. Over time one will encounter many perfectly grammatical sentences which start that way. By this point, you may have noticed a recurring theme. In fact, every sentence in this answer begins with a preposition. Sorry, but the first sentence of the second paragraph does not begin with a preposition. The word "to" is often used as a preposition, however, the way it is used in this sentence, it is NOT preposition. It is part of the full infinitive of the verb "to address". As to the question itself, I don't know why anyone would even ask it.
