In English grammar, ”for” is a preposition and has several different uses. Here are some common ways that ”for” can be used:

To indicate purpose or reason: In this usage, ”for” explains why something is being done or what it is meant to achieve. For example, ”I am studying for my exam” means that the purpose of studying is to prepare for the upcoming exam.

To indicate duration of time: This refers to the length of time that something lasts. For example, ”I have been waiting for you for an hour” means that the person has been waiting for one hour.

To indicate an intended recipient: When used with verbs like ”buy,” ”make,” or ”cook,” ”for” indicates who the product or action is intended for. For example, ”I made dinner for my family” means that the meal was prepared specifically for the speaker’s family members.

To indicate exchange or substitution: In this usage, ”for” implies that two things are being traded or substituted. For example, ”I’ll trade you my apple for your orange” means that the speaker wants to exchange their apple for the listener’s orange.

These are just a few examples of how ”for” can be used in English. The meaning of the word can vary depending on the context and the words it is used with.
