Yes, it’s okay to end a sentence with “to” in some cases, especially when it’s part of an infinitive verb. In these situations, “to” is necessary to complete the meaning of the verb. However, in other cases, ending a sentence with “to” might sound awkward or incomplete. If you can avoid it by rephrasing, you should, but in most informal or conversational English, ending with “to” is perfectly acceptable. It is often used to answer a question. Take a look at these examples:

• I went there because I wanted to
