Hi,
I am a student at UABC( university of Baja California). I studied most of my school life in the U.S., so I consider I have a good understanting about english grammar. Just recently, in one of my classes, I got into an argument with a classmate about the correct usage of For. She insisted on trying to write the following phrase "she bought for herself a blouse". Well, I tryed to correct her but she would not acept that what I said was right. All my life I've know it to be incorrect to say it this way. Sure you can say She bought a blouse for herself or she bought herself a blouse , but not she bought for herseft , or can you?. Please tell me if I'm wrong or right because this is confusing me.:-?
Sincearcely,
