something we were not notified of

Is this sentence correct?

This is something we were not notified of.

Or is using of unnecessary in the sentence?


Solution 1:

As it stands the sentence is OK. Omitting "of" is possible, but I doubt many native BrE speakers would do so.

There is a non-rule that a sentence should not end in a preposition, which has been debunked here on several posts for example here, but if you were writing this formally you could say "This is something of which we were not notified"
