Answer

Like said there is no 1 to 1 translation. Prepositions are the most irregular part of languages. You can only learn them by trial and error and memorizing standard expressions. But I can give a few examples.

om - naar
========
I go to town to buy some clothes.
Ik ga NAAR de stad OM wat kleren te kopen.

aan 
===
I give my old clothes to my sister.
I geef mijn oude kleren AAN mijn zuster.

tot 
===
From Monday to Friday I work in a grocery shop.
Van maandag TOT vrijdag werk ik in een supermarkt.

voor, om te 
=========
That is to pay for my shopping.
Dat is VOOR het betalen van mijn boodschappen.
Dat is OM mijn boodschappen TE betalen.

bij - at, in, to, by, with, on
This one is a bit difficult.., 'bij' mostly will be 'at' or 'by'. Forget this one.

Answer

From ... to  = van .... naar
I give this to you  = ik geef het aan jou
I go to the shop in order to ......  = ik gaa naar de winkel om .....
I walked from here to his house (and arrived).  ...  Ik liep van hier tot zijn huis
For the other ones I would need to see a sentence in English first. Context, you know.

Answer

It's all about context. Lots of times there's no consistent 1:1 translation possible.
