Apart from confusion in the use of 'for' and 'to' as prepositions, many French and Italian students have problems with 'for' infront of the infinitive of the verb to denote purpose. In English we say 'I went to the supermarket 'to buy' some milk'. The infinitive here denotes the purpose of the visit to the supermarket so 'for' is not necessary. In French and Italian they say 'I went to the supermarket for to buy some milk' as the infinitive does not denote purpose. Since you speak French Maksen, I thought you might be having a problem with this too. :)
