Answer

TO is used with verbs as you all know (e.g. the verb "to be").

It is also used in cases where a "transfer" happens.

E.g.

I will give this book to you. (from me to you) 
I will go to work. (from home to work)
I will talk to her. (information goes from me to her)

FOR is used in the following situations:

for the benefit of

e.g. I will do that for you.

purpose

e.g. This brush is for painting.
