Could you tell me the difference between the following 2 phrasal verbs?
1.ask for sb to do
2.ask sb to do
For example, on page 77 in "Practical English Usage 2nd Edition",
you can see this sentence:
"I asked for the children to have extra milk."
I think this sentence has same meaning as
"I asked the children to have extra milk."
I assume that both sentences says,
"I asked the children to drink every last drop of milk."
What's the difference between them?
