I'm not sure how to explain, so here are a few examples using each. By: I walked by the store today. Harry Potter is written by JK Rowling. The time is passing by. For: I got flowers for my mom. Who is that for? To: I have to walk all the way to the store. I'm giving my book to you. I hope this has helped a little! :)
