Default When to use the preposition "to"

I tutor a very basic level Korean student and am having difficulty explaining the various ways "to" is used. Please give me basic English guidelines on all the ways we use this particular preposition.

Thanks.

Purpose (with a verb) I stopped to have a coffee
