For VS to

Can it be said;

I wrote a real story and sold them to magazine for earn money for survive.

VS

I wrote a real story and sold them to magazine for earn money to survive.

Which one more possible?

Or

Are both wrong?

They are both wrong. You have used "a real story" and followed it with "them". Can you see why that is wrong?
Also, "for earn money" is wrong in both versions. Try again.
You have omitted an important indefinite article in both versions. Try again.

Once you have corrected those, we'll worry about the words in red.

I wrote a story and sold it to magazine for earn the money ...
correct?
If I'm still wrong, please let me know and let me try again.

 

[emsr2d2]

It's still wrong.

I wrote a story and sold it to ... :tick:
magazine :cross:
for earn the money :cross:

You put the omitted article in the wrong place. Where else could you put it?

...to the magazine for earn money...?

for earn money...?

for earn money for survive.

May I say 'to earn money for a living' instead?

Not a teacher.

Thank you for correct my English.
I want to insist using the word "earn" in above sentence.
Why is it not correct?

 

[Matthew Wai]

'To earn' is correct but 'for earn' is not.

Reread post #2. I told you in that post that "for earn money" is incorrect. You can use "to earn money" or "to earn a living". "For" is inappropriate.

The most natural version of your sentence is "I wrote a real-life story and sold it to a magazine to earn [some] money."

Note that "I wrote a real story" isn't natural (I missed that until now). If you write about something that actually happened to you (or to someone else), then it's a "real-life story".

It's a bit redundant for me- to earn a living would work better.
