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。

表动机

比较,这裡的to要念成”ㄜ”的音,比较道地。

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.
