Lo único cierto es que las preguntas que acaban en preposiciones son
comunes en inglés hablado y escrito. Por tanto, dado que no existe una
respuesta siempre lógica sobre porqué acaban en preposición, la mejor
manera de aprendérselas es haciendo ejercicios y usándolas al
hablar.
Nota: Si observas bien verás que la preposición en español va al principio de la pregunta y, muchas vece
Aquí tenemos una lista:

Preguntas con "who" (quién, a quién, de quién) que acaban en preposición:
· Who did you go with? [hú didiu gouwiz?]- ¿Con quién fuiste?
· Who(m) is she married to? -[hú(m) is shimeried tu?] - ¿Con quién está casada?
· Who are you waiting for?- [hú ariu guetingfor?]- ¿A quién estás esperando
· Who did you buy that house from? [hú dIdiu baidathaus from?]¿A quién le compraste esa
· Who did you sell it to?[hú didiu selIt tú] ¿A quién se lo vendiste?
· Who's she talking to? [hus shi toking tu] ¿Con quién está hablando?
Preguntas que empiezan por "what"[uat] (qué) y que acaban en preposición:
· What was it about? - [Uat guasIt abaut?]¿Sobre qué iba? Nota:El tema de una película, li
· What is this for?- [Uat Isdisfor] - ¿Para qué sirve esto?
Preguntas que empiezan por "where"[uer] (dónde) y que acaban en preposición:

· Where are you going to? [uer ariú goingtú] - ¿A dónde vas?
· Where do you come from? [uer diú kamfrom] ¿De dónde eres?
· Where did you go to [uer diú goutú] ¿Dónde fuiste?
Preguntas que empiezan por "why" [uai](por qué) y que acaban en preposición:
· Why did she do that for? [uai dIshidudat for?]- ¿Por qué hizo (ella) eso?
Preguntas que empiezan por "whose"[hus] (de quién) y que acaban en preposición:
· Whose car did you go with? [hus car dId iúgougüiz]- ¿Con que coche fuiste?
· Whose car did you go in? [hus car dId iúgougüiz] - ¿En qué coche fuiste?
La siguiente tabla te servirá de ayuda para recordar cómo hacer este tipo de preguntas:
Recuerda:
go with ----ir con

go in-------ir en(dentro de)
go to-------ir a
married to--estar casado con
wait for----esperar a alquien
sell to------vender a
buy from----comprar de
talk to-----hablar con
is about----sobre, acerca de
is for------sirve para
what for----para qué (propósito)
do for------hacer para
come from---venir de
Where are you from? / ¿De dónde eres?

En muchos casos un buen truco es imaginar que la preposición está pegada al verbo. Por ejemplo, co
I’m talking to Ana.
Si queremos convertirla en pregunta, mantenemos la preposición to en la misma posición respecto a
Who are you talking to?
Aquí van más ejemplos de preguntas con esta estructura:
What’s he interested in? (¿En qué está interesado?)
Who did you go with? (¿Con quién fuiste?)
Ten especial cuidado cuando la combinación de verbo y preposición en inglés no se puede traducir d
What are you looking at? (¿Qué estás mirando?)
How many countries have you been to? (¿En cuántos países has estado?)
What kind of music do you listen to? (¿Qué tipo de música escuchas?)
What does it depend on? (¿De qué depende?)
Para ver más ejemplos de verbos y preposiciones con los que los hispanohablantes suelen equivocar
Las preposiciones también pueden aparecer al final de las afirmaciones. Por ejemplo,
I don’t know who he went with. (No sé con quién fue.)
That’s the girl I told you about. (Esa es la chica de la que te hablé.)
I like the music he listens to. (Me gusta la música que escucha.)
Antes, algunos puristas de la gramática inglesa decían que las frases nunca debían terminarse con pr
I don’t know with whom he went.
1. ¿En qué estás pensando?
2. ¿Qué estás buscando?
3. He encontrado el número que estabas buscando.
4. ¿Con quién está bailando?
5. ¿Qué estás escuchando?
6. ¿De qué están hablando?
7. ¿Qué estás esperando?
8. Tengo la carta que estabas esperando.
9. Conozco la chica con la que está saliendo.
10. ¿Sobre qué escribe?
Respuestas
1. What are you thinking about?
2. What are you looking for?
3. I found the number you were looking for.
4. Who is he dancing with?
5. What are you listening to?
6. What are they talking about?
7. What are you waiting for?
8. I have the letter you were waiting for.
9. I know the girl he’s going out with.
10. What does he write about?
de la pregunta y, muchas veces, coincide con la preposición en inglés que va al final. Por ejemplo: " ¿Con quién estás?--->"Con" va al principio---
uién está casada?
s esperando
]¿A quién le compraste esa casa?
a:El tema de una película, libro, etc.

an en preposición:
n preposición:
e coche fuiste?
che fuiste?
ste tipo de preguntas:
gada al verbo. Por ejemplo, considera una frase como esta:

n la misma posición respecto al verbo talking, es decir, directamente después:
inglés no se puede traducir directamente del español. Por ejemplo,
nohablantes suelen equivocarse, lee la entrega “listen TO this: errores comunes con preposiciones”
s. Por ejemplo,
nca debían terminarse con preposiciones, y siempre optaban por frases con una estructura más parecida a la española. Por ejemplo,
n estás?--->"Con" va al principio---> en inglés: Who are you with?--> "with" va al final.
