Persoanl question#2 (to)
I have heard many people when they speak that they use word like at, to, for, ect. at the end of thier sentences.
Is this a correct way speaking?
Where is he at.
Where is the park at?
What movie theature are going to?
What is this piece of cake for?
Is there anyone who can help me out?
PLEASE CORRECT ANY GARAMMAR ERRORS.

Hi Archi, Do not use the "at" at the end of the Where...? questions. You will hear this, but it is substandard.

My view is when and if appropriate a preposition may end a sentence. There’s nothing ungrammatical about it. I’m sure some people would beg to differ.
I would say leave out the "at" in "Where is he at?" The "at" is implied in the interrogative "where", i.e., "where" is . "at what place"?
Rephrase your 2nd question as "Which movie theater are we going to?"
