Hello seniors and teachers,
I am wondering if "out" in the sentence is functioning as a preposition! if not, then (politely) why? Grammatically, a preposition should be followed by its object, unless if it's at the end of a sentence.
For example: What do you want it for? ( "for" preposition at the end of the sentence), right?
So, what about;? "They nosed out the secret". ("out" preposition followed by its object).
