Writers may choose to end sentences with prepositions for a more conversational tone or to create a more natural flow of language. It can also help to avoid awkward or overly formal phrasing.

Where should prepositions not go in a sentence?

There is no hard-and-fast rule about where prepositions may exist within a sentence. Consider the phrase, "This is the sort of English that I will not put up with." That sentence ends in a proposition. Consider now the alternative, "This is the sort of English up with which I will not put." That just doesn't make a bit of sense. While most sentence constructions don't have prepositions at the end, this is not a rule.Consider the preposition, over:Over there is my car.Over my dead body!I am over her.Can we start over?All of these are valid sentences, though the second classifies as an interjection of sorts.
