【Preposition,for】Ⅱ

As to one more preposition,to,it means being bound for somewhere. It doesn't always mean arriving there.Difference between to and for reflect each meaning.😃

Example

③I went to England

④I left for England

As for ③,it means I've actually been to England, but ④ is different.④ says that I just went toward England,but it means I may not have been there because I lost my wallet at Narita airport.🇬�

Example

⑤I gave a book to John

⑥She bought a doll for Manami

⑤means the book undoubtedly passed into John's hand and contrary to it,⑥means I may have dropped the doll on my way to home, so I may not have given.🙋

Besides,for,being toward,often includes conscious one.In short,when being toward something,we have our targets and aims in our ways それなり or our consciousness is apt to being attracted there.Contrary to it,to which just means its direction doesn't have a nuance like for.🔤
