In some languages, such as [[Japanese language|Japanese]], prepositions come after the noun and hence are called '''postpositions'''. In some [[inflected language]]s, prepositions are not separate words; their function is instead performed by a system of inflections on nouns called '''cases''' or '''[[declension]]'''.

In [[English usage]], sentences ending with prepositions have been controversial, though less so in recent years. It is often difficult to avoid ending a sentence with a preposition without making is sound pompous or odd;. forFor example, "What did you talk to him about" would have to become "About what did you talk to him?", and "This is something we will not put up with" would have to become "This is something up with which we will not put".
