I need to know the difference of "to" and "for" . This is my doubt."To" is a preposition. You usually use it before expression of destination (hope that makes sense).
example:
I am going to the mall.
We are going to the store.
It can also be used to imply a verb at the end of a sentence, when the context is clear and the verb isn't necessary.
Example:
She wanted to go with him, but he didn't want her to (go with him) You would leave this part out because it is already implied.
"For" is a prepostion. It is used when you want to express that something is intended to belong to someone, or something else.
Example:
I baked a cake for my friend.
"For" is also used when you desire something.
Example: I'd kill for a cold drink right now.
I hope this wasn't too confusing!
