He is not from the same area as she. (correct) You wold not end a sentence in "is." This would be a dangling preposition. The "is" would be impiied in the first version.

Anon,

1) "Is" is not a preposition.

2) It's perfectly with to end a sentence with a preposition.

She makes less money than I do... are you going to say that I can't end the sentence with "do" as well?
