Hi all,
I can't find a reference for this and could do with some help. What part of speech is the word 'for' when used with the infinitive, for example in the sentence "It's one of those gadgets for finding out where you are"?
Instinct suggests it is a preposition, but it seems a little strange. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Bruce
