| Re: for you on the road Thnaks Red5. It's good to hear from you again. What do you think of: 4-This water is for you while driving on the road. |

| Re: for you on the road Number one is clearest. Number two is not a natural English sentence. Number three seems to be an elliptical sentence, with "you're" understood, thus: "This water is for you while (you're) on the road." I would prefer: "This water is for you to drink while you are on the road." 8) |
