When to use "To" and "For" (Learn English)

[Guest dearartpkp]

I just learned English from youtube. And yes, now I know when to use to and for 😄
“To” use before verb
"For" use before noun

Am I wrong?
Please correct me so that I can speak English correctly

Thanks :). But not completely, I still often wrong in grammar, spelling. So I want to learn and keep learning so that I can speak English well (Even just in a chat) 😃

To be honest, I never understood the grammar rules back in my school days. They made me really confused. 😂

And from how you construct your English, I can tell that you’re improving really well. 😉

And now I just realized that what is taught in school is very helpful 😦

Hopefully, what you say will come true for me 🙏

There are situations when these are not used before verbs/nouns. Here’s what I could think of:

He’s smart to some degree (“to some degree” is an idiom; and there’s also no verb following “to”)

I’m not clean, for I have sinned (no noun after “for”, but rather a verb! - crazy :crazy_face: )

I hope that doesn’t confuse you too much :crazy_face:

I get a new lesson and have copied and saved it on my computer notepad

I don’t understand the word "idiom"

Can you explain it?

😀

By the way Thanks 😁

You’re welcome 🙂

I don’t understand the word “idiom”

It’s like a saying that carries special meaning depending on the context it is used in. It’s a group of words that, by themselves, don’t necessarily mean something.

For example, the idiom “kill two birds with one stone” is said when you want to do two things at a time (sorry if the example sounds inappropriate - it’s just a saying, nothing more)

Similarly, the idiom I had used, “to some degree”, can mean “in a way”.

---

Here’s a better example of an idiom that probably everybody knows: “piece of cake”, which means easy, not an actual piece of some cake 😃

I bet you have idioms in your native language as well - I think every language has them 😉

When I go to school, I always carry the books I will use for class.

I am writing a letter to my friend to thank her for the nice birthday present.

I went to church yesterday for my wedding.

I have created a gig to sell English lessons, for anyone who needs to learn English.

I am looking for a writing gig.

I want to find a writing gig.

I am going to work.

I am looking for work.

I am seeking work.

I am hoping to find work.
