If I may the cake dare to take, I'm trying to determine if I've grammatically correctly adjusted the following phrases for the "no prepositions at end of sentences" rule.
The classic: I will not put up with becomes Up with which I will not put
Or with a verb added: I hate to put up with
becomes
Up with which I hate to put
And then my own: To have to
becomes (???)
to which I have(?)
as in: I hate to have to
becomes
I hate to which I have (?)
Which when combined: I hate to have to put up with
becomes
Up with which I hate to which I have put (?)
This last phrase is what I think I have right, but am having trouble determining so for sure.
Prepositions at the end of sentences are actually perfecty valid in English. Only obnoxious teachers insist otherwise.
