when I have to use to instead of for ? For example: This paper is to write or this paper is for write. I don't know when I have to use "To" or "for" before a verb... Could you tell me the differences or the rule...?

I am not a teacher but these are examples how to use it: your two sentences are not correct .. use these: THIS paper is for writing. This paper is for you to write on.

I use this paper to write down all the names = This paper that I use is for writing down all the names. to + verb for + verb*ing* ( gerund)

The word to is used in expressions like to walk, to run, to paint, etc. The Word For is a preposition
