confusion about " to" and "for"
When I write something in English. I often confused about when can I use “to” and when can I use “for”.
for example: I think this shirt is good enough for/to me. This gift is not for/to him.
when "to" and "for" followed with something and somebody, i don`t know how to handle it.
But I can understand that "to" is often used behind verbs. For example, I gave my book to Kim yesterday.
thanks!

It is not always easy to know which preposition to use after a particular noun, verb or adjective.
Who's the present for?
It's for Ann.
For is used to answer the "who question"
Here are some common examples:
Apologize to somebody for something
Belong to him
He was nice to me
She shouted to us to come in.
I am sorry for his loss.
Please listen to him
I hope this helps
