Possibly yes. However, ending a sentence in a preposition is a
violation of proper grammar, up with which I will not put.


Johnny's dad wanted to read him a story from a book, but Johnny wasn't
interested. So his mean father sent him to his room without supper.
After supper, his father went to Johnny's room to try again. And Johnny
said,

"Why did you bring the book that before dinner I didn't want to be read
to out of up for after?"

That was the record of six prepositions at the end of a sentence
submitted by readers to "Charlie Rice's Punchbowl" in Parade Magazine
oh, I dunno, 45 years or so ago. I guess remembering stuff like that is
why I don't have room to remember where I parked the car or left my glasses.
