for vs. to (I have left those printouts for those who were absent at the...) #1 (permalink) Tue Nov 24, 2009 10:29 am   for vs. to (I have left those printouts for those who were absent at the...)
 

Hello!
I was writing the following sentence and got suddenly doubtful whether the prepostion 'for' was the right choice from the point of grammar.
"I have made additional copies and left those printouts for those who were absent at the previous lesson".
My question is whether the forementioned sentence is correct and whether it is possible to use 'to' instead of 'for' in such context.
Thanking in advance!
