⭕️The difference between " To" & "For"

👉When to use "to":

‼️Use "to" when there is some kind of transfer happening or something is being moved from one place to another. "To" expresses direction.

👉Examples :

📒"We went from the restaurant to the party."
📒"Talk to your teacher and get more information about the exam."
📒"I go to the office every morning at 9am."
📒"He sold his car to me for $5,000."

👉When to use "for":

‼️Use "for" when something is being done to benefit something or someone else.

‼️Use "for" when you are trying to express purpose or the reason that something is happening

👉Examples:

📒"I bought this gift for you."
📒"He runs for his health."
📒"Bring this tea upstairs for your grandmother."
📒"Buckle up for safety."

👉 Now compare both:

📒"My friend brought lunch to me." (My friend physically carried the lunch and delivered it to me)

versus

📒"My friend brought lunch for me." (My friend paid for my lunch because he wanted to do something nice for me)

📒"I made a quick phone call to my mom." (I called with the intention of speaking with my mom)

versus

📒"I made a quick phone call for my mom." (My mom wasn't able to make the call so I made the call for her)

❇️ کاربردهای کلمه “wish” به معنای خواستن، آرزو، میل داشتن

🔷 Wish + to + infinitive

همان معادل want to است اما کمتر رایج است و رسمی تر.

👉 I wish to see the manager.

🔷 wish + somebody + something

تقدیم آرزوهای خوب برای دیگران

👉 I wish you all the best in your new job.

🔶 همانند مثال اخیر را میتوان همراه با فعل نیز به کار برد، که در آن صورت بایستی از hope استفاده نماییم.

👉 We wish you the best of luck.
👉We hope you have the best of luck.


🔷 Wish + would / could
صحبت درباره ی آرزوها و تمایلات آینده

👉 I don’t like my work. I wish I could get a better job.
👉 That’s a dreadful noise. I wish it would stop.

🔷 Wish + (that) + past simple
صحبت درباره ی شرایطی که نسبت به آن پشیمان هستیم و تمایل داریم در حال یا آینده، متفاوت از گذشته باشند.

👉 I wish that I had a big house (I don't have a big house, but it's a nice idea!).

👉 I wish that we didn't need to work today (we do need to work today, unfortunately).

🔑نکته : در اکثر متون و مکالمات رسمی انگلیسی، مشاهده خواهید کرد که به جای was از were استفاده می شود، لذا هر دو مورد صحیح می باشند.

👉 I wish I was rich.


🔷 Wish + (that) + past perfect
صحبت درباره ی موقعیتی که در گذشته اتفاق افتاده است و ما نسبت به آن پشیمانیم.
