Hi,
One example and this is only one example: I have answered this question for you - I have sent a message to you.

Hi YL
Only "for" works in your sentence:
- I bought a present for her. . |

| Hi My Man. You should post your difficulties about the use of "to" and "for" in order to be helped,because we don't know exactly your difficulties...For example, write: "I do this work to you" and the correct sentence is I do this work for you. that is to say: I work at your place. trésorUnikin |
