Doubts about preposition usage
0 Hello! 02 br
02 br
00 Please, I have some doubts which I would like someone could help me: 02 br
02 br
00 1) Now there's more toys 01 u 01 b 00 for children play 02 b 02 u 00 or 01 u 01 b 00 for children to play 02 b 02 u 00 ?; 02 br
02 br
00 2) This party will be unforgettable 01 u 01 b 00 for my friends and I 02 b 02 u 00 or 01 u 01 b 00 to my friends and I 02 b 02 u 00 ?; 02 br
02 br
00 3) 01 u 01 b 00 Spending 02 b 02 u 00 some days studying hard at home or 01 u 01 b 00 Spend 02 b 02 u 00 some days studying hard at home or 01 u 01 b 00 To spend 02 b 02 u 00 some days studying hard at home ? (Here initiating a sentence); 02 br
02 br
00 4) 01 u 01 b 00 On the next vacation 02 b 02 u 00 they'll travel to Ireland or 01 b 00 01 u 00 in the next vacation 02 u 02 b 00 they'll travel to Ireland?; 02 br
02 br
00 5) 01 u 01 b 00 On a camping 02 b 02 u 00 people have more fun or 01 u 01 b 00 in a camping 02 b 02 u 00 people have more fun?; 02 br
02 br
00 6) Why in this example the correct form to write is: " 01 u 01 b 00 My friends and I 02 b 02 u 00 are very anxious about the grades" In spite of writting: " 01 u 01 b 00 I and my friends 02 b 02 u 00 are very anxious about the grades?" 02 br

00 Thank you very much! You helped me a lot!!! By the way concerning to the sentence: " 01 i 01 b 00 Spend some time studying hard for 02 b 00 01 b 00 the exams" , 02 b 02 i 00 it wouldn't be wrong to start a sentence at this way if it were being used as a command(order), isn't it? 02 br
