Hello everybody.
Does it matter which preposition is used when the meaning is maintained?
For instancję "I have given a book for you to read" or "I have given a book to you to read".
On one hand you give something to somebody.
On the other hand some verbs which do not take " for" are sometimes followed by "for".
What do you think of my conclusions?
The general meaning behind the sentence under discussion is " I have given a book to you so that you can read it.
Thank you.
