The problem with that idea is that many of the 'little' words in English, the prepositions and particles have in themselves no ''meaning.
On the contrary for example, is used introduce a statement that says the opposite of the last one (definition). The word on means nothing in itself -it functions as part of a three-word expression.
jutfrank has done his best in this thread to explain how to is used in your sentence. jutfrank chooses his words carefully. Try to understand those words rather than offering alternatives.
What's the reason "offering" was used there instead of "to offer"?
