Hi guys, I'm gonna ask you a question and if you answer yes you must continue watching
this video. Have you ever said something like "I've come to England for to learn English",
and that "for to learn", have you ever said something like this before? If you have, keep
on watching, I'm gonna be talking about when to use "for" and when to use "to" in this
situation. Welcome back to Pronunciation with Emma, so today is of course gonna be a little
grammar video and it's going to be solving that problem that a lot of students have and
it's when to use "for" and when to use "to". So let's go back to that original example.
I came to England for to learn English. Now, in English we can't use for to together, so,
in this case we have a verb. Whenever you have a verb that comes after that preposition
we use to, to learn. Now you're thinking, when do we use for? Well whenever you have
a noun or a gerund coming after, that's when you use for. So let's have a look at these
two examples here. She only came to my house __ use the free wifi. What do you think? Well
we have a verb, so I know that before that verb we use to. To use. So the sentence should
be "she only came to my house to use the free wifi". Now take a look at this one. She only
came to my house __ the free wifi. Now we have a noun. So, should we use to, no, because
we need a verb. Can we use for to, never. These two never go together in the same sentence.
So we can only use for, because we have a noun coming after. She only came to my house
for the free wifi. Now, let's put all that theory into practice. I'm gonna give you six
examples and I'd like you to tell me down in the comments what you think they are. Don't
worry I'll also give you the answers after so you can compare. Check out this first one,
what do we think? The answer is, I really want to go to Paris to visit the galleries.
To visit. We use to because we have a verb coming after. How about this one? She moved
to Spain for the good weather. So we're using for in this case because the good weather
is a noun. We cannot say for to the good weather, because we can't use those two together and
we can't use to because we need a verb. So, the good weather, it's a noun, we use for.
How about this one. We went to the cinema to watch a film. To watch because it's a verb.
To watch. Number four, what do you think about this one? I really need a job for some money.
Some money, we have a noun, we don't have a verb, so we're using for. Number five, what
do we think about this one? I went to the shop for a bottle of milk. I went to the shop
for a bottle of milk. A bottle of milk, it's a noun, it's not a verb, again we're using
for. And the last one, what do you think about this one? What do you think the answer is
here? We should go to Indonesia to try some of the local cuisine? To try. To, because
we have a verb, try. To try. Remember, never ever for to try, and never for try. In this
case to try, to try. I hope this video is really useful for you and it helped combat
