1. "It's is clear to/for me" (both are fine) 2. "I went to the park to swim" 3. "I must write to/for my boss" (to = "escrever para" for = "escrever por/em vez de") 123 raks has a good general summary, but I thought I would compare to Portuguese to help. In spoken Portuguese, you often use para to indicate movement or to express an object. In English, we use "to." Fui para o banco. I went to the bank. Disse isso para ele. I said that to him. Also, after a verb plus "for" you need the gerund in English. I've noticed that many times Portuguese uses the infinitive where English would use the gerund. I went for swimming. Fui para nadar. Correr é divertido. Running is fun.
