for or to?
Congratulations, your new e-mail account has been activated and is ready for use
why isn't it written to instead of for?
because i know when we use for after we must get -ing but there is no -ing.
in my opinion it must be to use, am i wrong?
or it should be for usage. if you give me a hand with checking, i will feel happy.

Hello, For use is a correct structure but I can see why you might get confused. If you are thinking of 'use' as a verb then it should be 'to use'. However, in this case it is a noun (in the way that usage is a noun) so for is correct.
