How to know when it must be used "for", "to" and "by"?
Hi everyone. I need help with the different uses for "for", "to" and "by", because in spanish they sometimes mean the same or they are too similar.
Thank you :)

Actually there are several meanings/uses for each of them. I think a definition from some book would be more appropriate.
"To" is usually a direction/pointer: come to me, go to hell, he is related to John, etc.
"By" is usually related to means of use or owner of the action: done by me, connected by a wire.
"For": a gift for you, pay for a purchase, something is done for somebody.
