Can you end a sentence with the word this?

You can't technically end a sentence with the word "this" in standard English grammar.

"This" is a demonstrative pronoun, and it usually functions as the subject or object of a sentence. To end a sentence grammatically, you need a complete thought, and "this" alone doesn't provide that.

Here's why:

* Incomplete thought: "This" refers to something, but it doesn't tell us anything about that thing.

* Missing verb: Sentences need a verb to express an action or state of being.

Example:

* Incorrect: "I like this."

* Correct: "I like this book."
