Here's why and how it can be used:
1. Incorrect Usage:
* "Who did you give the book to, most?" This is grammatically incorrect. "Most" needs to modify a noun or verb, not stand alone at the end.
2. Correct Usage:
* "Who did you give the book to, *most* of all?" In this case, "most" modifies "of all," functioning as an adverb to emphasize the recipient.
3. Other Correct Ways to End a Sentence with "Most":
* "This is the *most* important thing." Here, "most" modifies "important," acting as an adjective.
* "You are the *most* talented person I know." "Most" functions as an adjective modifying "talented."
* "The dog barked *most* fiercely at the stranger." "Most" modifies "fiercely" as an adverb, emphasizing the degree of fierceness.
Key Takeaway: "Most" usually needs a word to modify, either a noun or verb, to be grammatically correct.
