PILIHAN ANDA
Kesimpulannya, jika Anda tidak dapat menemukan kata pengganti yang cocok untuk menggantikan kata depan yang berada di akhir kalimat, maka Anda dapat memilihnya yaitu tetap meletakkan kata depan tersebut di akhir kalimat, atau merubah susunan kata depan tersebut. Kalimat pertama di bawah ini secara teknis tidak tepat karena kata depan berada di akhir kalimat. Namun kalimat yang kedua kedengarannya agak aneh dan dapat membingungkan pembaca.
- She is a person I cannot cope with.
- She is a person with whom I cannot cope.
