When to use (for) vs (of) ?
When to use (for) vs (of) ?
Can you please help with this :
"This gift is ___ you."
(We’re not sure if it should be for or of depending on what we're trying to say.)

Hi Milena! Great question! Let me break it down for you.
- The correct answer is "for":
- "This gift is for you." → This means the gift is being given to you.
Think of "For" as Giving or Helping:
Use "for" when you’re giving something or doing something to help.
- Example 1: "This gift is for you."
→ It means I’m giving the gift to you.
Think of "Of" as Belonging or Showing What Something Is About:
Use "of" when something belongs to someone or shows what it’s about.
- Example 1: "This is a gift of kindness."
→ It means the gift shows kindness or comes from kindness.
I hope this clears up the confusion! Let me know if you'd like more examples! 😊
