英文文法問題, 不太明白

Question

很多時都看到有些英文句後面會加多個with, 例如:

I use charcoal to start a fire to barbeque with.

I prefer to use ballpoint pens to write with.

請問為什麼加with, 和這個with在這里有什麼意思呢? thx~

Zanon：

with是英文文法上叫介詞(preposition)的, 一般放在動詞後解作 ' 用 ' 的意思。

你可能說你句子開頭已有 use(用) 字, 但這只是巧合, 如下例：

I prefer a ballpen to write with.

I would rather have charcoal to start a fire with.等也是解' 用 ' 的意思。
