About this episode

Prepositions in English can be hard! In today's episode, I break down the different ways we use "for" and "to" to give meaning to sentences. For example, in the sentence, "I am giving this gift to you for your friend!", do you know why I use both "for" and "to"? This is one of many examples I give to you in this episode! You only need 7 minutes to improve your English with today's episode!
