FOR vs TO

for + noun or to + infinitive

To talk about the purpose of an action, we use a for + noun construction or a to + infinitive structure. We often use the infinitive ( to + verb) to say why we do things. Compare the following:

We stopped off at the Goose for a drink and then we carried on to embassy for dinner.

I’m going to Brussels next week for an interview. I hope to work for the UN.

Do you want to have a drink at the Goose?

I’ve come to Dublin to attend a seminar and to meet the new members of the faculty. But now I’m leaving for Rome.

for + -ing

To talk about the purpose of something, we use a for + -ing construction:

- These double-strength paracetamols are good for getting rid of headaches.
- Are they suitable for backache too?

- What are these two knives used for?
- This one is for cutting bread and that one is just for slicing meat.
