[B45]

I already saw her twice yesterday so there's no point for/of to have dinner tonight.

Are both okay here?

 

[bhaisahab]

No, neither is OK.

 

[B45]

No, neither is OK.

I already saw her twice yesterday so there's no point for/of us to have dinner tonight.

 

[bhaisahab]

No.

 

[B45]

No.

I already saw her twice yesterday, so there's no point for/of us to have dinner tonight.

Which is the correct preposition?

 

[Roman55]

I am not a teacher.

One has to admire your perseverance Batman45, but they're both still wrong.

Try, "I already saw her twice yesterday, so there's no point in us having dinner tonight."

 

[B45]

I am not a teacher.

One has to admire your perseverance Batman45, but they're both still wrong.

Try, "I already saw her twice yesterday, so there's no point in us having dinner tonight."

What about: There's no point for us to do that. - Is this wrong as well?

 

[Roman55]

I am not a teacher.

"Point for" is just wrong.

"Point of" could work in, "What's the point of us having dinner when I just saw you yesterday?" but not in "there's no point of..."

 

[B45]

I am not a teacher.

"Point for" is just wrong.

"Point of" could work in, "What's the point of us having dinner when I just saw you yesterday?" but not in "there's no point of..."

So, is this wrong as well? - There's no reason for us to meet her for dinner tonight.

Is it because I'm using the word/vocabulary(point) incorrectly?

 

[Roman55]

I am not a teacher.

"There's no reason for us..." is fine.

"There's no point for us..." isn't.

I have to admit that after mentally repeating these phrases a few hundred times the reasons why one is right and the other wrong do become less clear.

 

[B45]

Would you please explain to me why one is right and other is wrong?

It all stems form normal collocations. It is not a great explanation, but it is the only one.
