Can you give me the answer for this interrogative sentence?
"With what are you marked?"
"I am marked with white powder."
Is it grammatically correct? I have seen questions such as "to whom are you talking?" But this is the first time I see the question above.
It's grammatically okay to say so but remember that putting the word with at the end of the sentence would be better but as i said it's okay.see With what are you painting the house? or What are you painting the house with? as you see second one is more used in English.
It's grammatically correct, strictly speaking you should never end a sentence with a preposition. However, in general speech native speakers wouldn't usually use the "With what are you marked?" construction. We would say "What are you marked with?" even though it's incorrect grammar.
"What are you marked with?" "White powder."
I believe that's what you're looking for. I may be wrong.
