Can we postpone our appointment for later today.

Should it be for or to or are both useable?

Thanks!

There usually aren't any concrete rules for which prepositions to use for certain words, but you could probably get away with using for (or to, for that matter). Again, until is the wisest choice, in my opinion.

Yes. I do not consider myself an expert (grammarian), but I study the subject as a hobby.

Hi,

An additional comment.

Can we postpone our appointment for later today?
.
When I first read this, I took it to mean that you already have an appointment for later today. And you now wish to postpone it, eg to next Friday.
