Grammar
favor
Which correctly describes your action when you ask someone to help you:
(1) You ask a favor of someone.
(2) You ask someone for a favor.
(3) You ask for a favor from someone.
(4) You ask someone as a favor.
I think the first three are correct, but (4) is a bit off.
Am I right about this?
And what could (4) possibly mean if it were to be correct?
