TO

1.direction/destination/distance

从一个地方去另一个地方(movement)。这里要注意的是，movement不只是具体的place，也可以是比较抽象的地方。

2.time/time between two points

表述截止到的时间点，或是从某个时间点到另一个时间点。

3.preference

表达两者之间更喜欢/倾向于选择某一个的时候。

I prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla ice cream.

4.limit/endpoint

表达结束点或是极限点，常与up to换用。

During the flood,the water came to my knees./The tickets could cost up to$200 each during the high season.

For

1.benefits

表达益处/好处。

Ginger is great for your immune system.

2.duration/period of time

表达一段时间，因此常与完成时连用。

They’ve been living in the city for three years already./I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes already.Where are you?

3.helping someone

表达帮助谁，或为谁做什么事情。

I baked a cake for you./I need to collect the mail for my mother./Could you grab those apples for me?

4.function/use/purpose

表达功能以及用途，常用for+Ving。

Yeast is used for baking bread./That camera is used for taking pictures underwater.

TO&FOR

(reasons/motive)

两个介词都可以用来表达原因或是动机，只是在用法上略有不同，to后加动词原形，for后加名词。

He studied English to apply for a job./She is studying French for work.

Attention:

有时候这两个动词用在同一个句子中会出现完全不同的意思哦~be careful

My assistant brought lunch to me.

(这句话中“我”是destination，我的助理实际意义上把午餐带到了我这里)

My boss brought lunch for me.

(这句话在我的上司帮我带午餐过来，强调“帮我”)

类似的，大家来区别一下下面这两句吧：

(我打电话给妈妈)

I made a quick phone call for my mom.
