B1 Intermediate - Lesson 13 Box B: Adjective+For Noun+To Verb
hello students this is teacher Kenn
in today's episode of Intermediate English
for the Bilingual Professional
we will be practicing how to use "for" with nouns
and "to" with verbs
when combining them with adjectives or descriptions
please refer to Lesson 13
Box B in our English Sentence Structure Book
page 136 or page 149 in the PDF
and exercise 11 on page 138 or PDF page 151
without further ado let's begin
so, what happens when I want to include an action
a person or an object in a description with an additive?
it is very important to remember
that when we are connecting actions
or nouns with descriptions
we use either "to" or "for" but we must use them correctly
"to" is only for actions
repeat after me
this lesson is easy to understand
and we use "for" with nouns
repeat after me
this lesson is easy for John
if I want to include both the person and the action
together with the description
you put the person first and the action second
repeat after me
this lesson is easy for John to understand
let's go to exercise 11
it's a substitution exercise
I am going to say the first complete sentence
and after that I will include either a person
an action or both
to be included in the description or the adjective
I will not tell you to use "to" or "for"
the idea of the exercise is that you remember to use "for"
with the nouns and "to" with the verbs
I will give you a moment to say the complete sentence
applying the substitution that I mentioned
and after you say the complete sentence
I will say it myself
so you can compare your answer to mine
don't forget to repeat the sentence after me
so you can correct any mistakes and internalize them
