To end a sentence with the word 'proper' is quite proper.

However, the word proper doesn't always have to go at the end of the sentence.

(In fact, the proper way to end a sentence containing the word 'proper' is to use a full stop!)

Examples of sentences ending with proper:

  • To apologise for a mistake is only right and proper.
  • My grandfather was a very kind person, even though he was very formal and proper.
  • "The appeal panel ... decided that the initial punishment was right and proper." -
... quoted from 'The Independent' (newspaper), March 4th, 2010, reporting on the disciplinary action taken after an infringment of the rules had taken place at a Rugby Football match.
