Jan, can you ever have "is" as the last word in a sentence?

Thanks,

Lillian

Absolutely!

[looking at a strange object] I have no idea what that thing is.

I don't believe I've ever seen a grammar rule against ending a sentence with 'is', in fact.

Do you know where the nearest post office is?

Home is where the heart is.

In fact, there's a framed hanging on the wall in my office that says

It is what it is.

Of course, Jan. 'Home is where the heart is' is a very familiar phrase and so is your sign. For some reason, I just thought they were gramatically suspect. Now I know better.☺

Thanks,

Lillian
