STOP IT!!! Your English is SO much better than my Spanish. You are talking about super-picky tiny details. Take it easy on yourself.

Have you heard what somebody famous once said? "A preposition is the wrong word to end a sentence with, and it is a habit up with which I shall not put." This is absolutely correct today. Don't worry about it. |

Actually, in the U.S., they taught us about not ending sentences with prepositions when I was still in school. It's only recently that I've heard that "they" have changed "their" minds about it. We ought to have an "RAE" for English.

I didn't know that sentence, but I'll have it in mind, thanks
But I'm sure I've seen prepositions at the end of the sentences, that's because I use them (maybe they were from old books ) |

Oi!
Well, what I would actually say is It depends not on the size but on the material from which it's made. Quote:
Of course you have. 99.9%+ of native speakers put them there. |

Actually, that is what I would say as well, but I think we are in a small minority here. I think it is a fine point for discussion of a mother tongue, but not really for English as a foreign language.
