Maybe there is not that much to understand.
All that is going on is that ending a sentence with a preposition is considered sub optimal.
For instance, I need someone to play with. which has the preposition with at the end is considered wrong, or not so great, while on the other hand, I need someone with whom to play. is considered optimal.
Maybe the reason you are finding understanding all this to be challenging is that it's all debatable.
This writer does a good job of discussing this subject.
