英语语法：For 跟 To 的使用差别

I ‘ve made an appointment to May 4th?! 词不达意往往出在词汇的选择！或许For 跟 To你都知道大概意思，但是要怎么分辨他们呢？今天用例子告诉你何时用for，何时用to。从中学英文、文法，累积你的外语能力。

1. 表达的用语

I moved to London for to learn English

这句意思是：为了学英文，我搬到伦敦。但这句是错的。

To + 动词

I went to the supermarket to buy apples.

我到超市要买苹果。

For + 名词

I went to the supermarket for apples.

我到超市要买苹果。

答案：I moved to London to learn English

2. 接受者

I made a cake for Felicity.

我为Felicity 做了蛋糕。

因为蛋糕是从无到有(你为她做蛋糕)，所以中间没有传递动作，用for。

I gave a cake to Felicity.

我把蛋糕给了Felicity。

因为有传递动作，你把蛋糕给她，用to

3. 目的

这裡就像第一点一样，动词就用to，名词就用for。

I asked her to give me the key.

我要她给我钥匙。

I asked her for the keys.

我向她要钥匙。

4. to 的用法

表动机

I came here to talk to you.

我来这裡要跟你谈谈。

距离

It’s about 10 km from my house to yours.

我家离你家距离10公里。

比较，这裡的to要念成”ㄜ”的音，比较道地。

I prefer apples to oranges.

比起橘子我比较喜欢苹果。

表目的地

We are going to France.

我们要去法国了。

传递 (give、sell、send)

I sent it to her yesterday.

我昨天就寄给她了。

5. For用法

有好处、坏处

喝水对你有好处。

一段时间

规划好行程
