INDEX

1. TO vs. FOR: BASIC DIFFERENCE

  • TO is for verbs:
I went to Madrid to visit a friend
  • FOR is for nouns or pronouns:
I went to Madrid for personal reasons

2. TO vs. FOR with VERBS

  • For general purpose you can use TO + INFINITIVE or FOR + ING
We use knives to cut We use knives for cutting
  • For a person's purposes, only TO + INFINITIVE is correct
I used a knife to open the bottle of beer

3. ALTERNATIVES TO "TO"

  • TO = IN ORDER TO = SO AS TO
They work hard to/ in order to/ so as to satisfy their customers.
  • IN ORDER TO and SO AS TO are more formal than TO

3. ALTERNATIVES TO "TO": negative forms

The negative forms of IN ORDER TO and SO AS TO are IN ORDER NOT TO and SO AS NOT TO They work hard in order not to/ so as not to lose their customers.

4. SO THAT

  • FOR and TO mean "para"
  • SO THAT means "para que"
  • SO THAT is followed by a clause (a subject and a verb)

4. SO THAT

SO THAT is necessary ... a) when you have different subjects: We'll send you a present so that you get it on your birthday b) before a modal verb, usually CAN or COULD: I work hard so that my children can have a better future
