Now You See Me: To x For

One of my 2013 favorite movies. The lovely story and special effects were so gripping that I was totally involved by the plot and its twists. I strongly recommend it.

Look at some of the ways we can use FOR or TO:

To:

To for destination – We’re going to Paris.

To – What time is it? – minutes before the hour – It’s a quarter to three.

To – Distance – It’s about 1 km from my house to my English School

To – Comparing – I prefer reading to watching TV.

To – Giving – I gave a book to my cousin.

To Motive or Reason (with verb) – I came here to study English with you.

For:

For – Benefits – Yogurt is good for your health.

For – Periods of time – I have lived in Brasilia for 12 years.

For – Scheduling – I made an appointment for Friday.

For – Agree with or in favor of something – Are you for or against the development of nuclear weapons?

For – Doing something to help someone – Could you carry these bags for me?

For – Motive or Reason (with noun) – Let’s go out for a drink?
