to and for
Hi all! I feel so confused about when I have to use " to" and "for". I thought the only diference betwen both was that I use to for verbs and I use "for" for nouns or adectives.....but now I don't think so.... could anyone help me?
thanks in advance!

It's much more complex than that. We use "to" for places, for example.
Have a look at the verb that comes BEFORE to/for. For example, verbs which describe some kind of transit (come, go, pass, give, etc) usually take "to". To be honest, you'll make far more progress by looking at real examples instead of trying to find some clever rule.

Hello Belen,
As Peachey says there are no rules, and if you can find rules there will usually be exceptions! I would say that it is best to learn these words as part of expressions or verbs. For example - 'listen' is always followed by 'to' in conversation. I listen to music/a CD/the radio/ the teacher.
Best wishes
Bob
