"Where are you now at?" — grammatically correct?

English Language & Usage Asked by xenon on January 20, 2021

Should I say "Where are you at now?" or "Where are you now at?"

Which is grammatically correct? And is there any difference in meaning between the two?

3 Answers

Both are possible in speech, although the first is probably more likely. They can be:

a) an inquiry about someone's location;

b) an inquiry about someone's mental, spiritual or emotional state; or

c) an inquiry about which page someone has reached in a book.

Neither example feels very comfortable grammatically although I feel this is perhaps a BE view. We used to say 'a preposition should never be used to end a sentence with.' In fact, the use of at in either case seems redundant since both examples make sense without it.

Neither is correct. Never end a sentence with the word "at". "Where are you now?" Or "Where are you?" There is no reason to add "at" to this sentence.
