Question

How to use ON END in a sentence

Answer 1

Okay so this isn't a really common phrase, but I'll do my best to use it in a sentence for ya. "Everyday on end there are 500 kids in my grade." I'm pretty sure this makes sense, if not heres a definition of the phrase "on end": "On end" means "without a break", which has been changed over time so that "days on end" now often means "several days"

Hope this helps you ;) -BG
