TO or FOR? TO ME or FOR ME? - English prepositions

Is it "TO me" or "FOR me"?
Hi Everyone!
In today's lesson I'm going to answer some of your biggest questions about TO and FOR. We are going to look at 1) Purpose 2) Function 3) Destination 4) Opinions and Effects.
Yes, there are many ways TO and FOR are used in English (and I'm sure you know a lot of them), but today's lesson focuses on the confusion of these two words, not all of their functions.
Let me know how you did on the TEST! I can't wait to read your comments.

For all my life, I could not figure out the difference between "to me" and "for me." Thank you! To me, you are a great teacher, because you are good for me.

You just didn't taught me for and to,but also taught me so many phrases and new vocabulary.Amazing experience

[@nancysantos7108]

Hii Arnel, you're such an incredible teacher. But one of the things that I love most about your channel is probably you are of the few teachers on KZbin who actually make their lessons different from the rest. The structure is different: you use colors, a lot of desing and video editing. So keep it up!

[@vierajuh]

The structure of your lessons is logical, precise and comprehensive. Thank you!

[@danieladacostabernal7020]

[@mychudungco]

It is the first time I watch your video and I have to admit that such lessons are very useful for English learners like me. In daily conversations or contexts, we sometimes face a hard choice to use English words, phrases, or sentences correctly. Please make more lessons like this in the coming days. Wising you all the best.

[@talukdartalukdar3643]

You give a novel meaning in my life through your enthusiastic, intelligent,well organized, resourceful,effective,most trusted lectures. You are the bestest educator that I have ever seen in my lifetime. But now a days why are so irregular in your lectures, making just only one lecture every month. We are eagerly waiting for your lecture. YOU ARE NOT ONLY SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME BUT ALSO SO EFFICIENT FOR THE ENTIRE ENGLISH TEACHING LEARNING COMMUNITY IN THE UNIVERSE.

[@aatali2001]

Hello Arnel, Your videos are unique and technical rather than beliefs. I have seen many videos on this topic but found right technique here “to for reason and for for purpose. Thank you from bottom of my heart. I struggled to understand this example “I went to the library to study” you said if you have verb no1 then use “to” but here “ went” is used as verb.

[@Sinega1008]

I have been searching this topic for many years, eventually I got this one . The way conveyed was amazing. Thanks for pictorial explanation.

[@nacciomart4586]

Hi Arnel, how's it going? Amazing lesson, excellent explanation. I really appreciate the great effort you put into every video. You make it easy to understand what is difficult, you have the gift of teaching. Please, we need more lessons like this, for example IN vs ON, or TO vs AT and many more. Prepositions are a nightmare FOR me. Thank you so much Arnel. P.s. I got 9 out of 10 ON (or in?) the quiz, which means I need to watch this video more times.😊

Great job ON the quiz ;) Thank you Naccio! And more preposition videos to come :)

[@husnasepehre2402]

Thank you Arnel for being such an incredible teacher. ❤

[@wwenba520]

Thanks for giving us such a useful lesson! But I have one question. Why is “I stepped outside for smoking” incorrect? For is a preposition, and smoking is a gerund; I think it is grammatically correct, isn’t it? I am looking forward to receiving your reply!

[@gisellesuarez6893]

I thought the same JeralHuang! What do you think about "I went to the library for a study(noun)? " But I suppose that is another context..I also know that natives suggest natural grammar...Something is natural or unnatural...and that is important I know..
