Prepare
Here's the usage of the verb prepare (from my dictionary): [VN] ~ sth/sb (for sb/sth)
This is a sentence I saw from my book:
Also, when I prepare for the lesson, I can study as well.
Q) I don't know why a direct objective does not come after 'prepare' but 'for' the objective?
[VN] ~ sth/sb (for sb/sth) <= According to this 'for sb/sth' comes after '~ sth/sb.' That's why I ask this question.

Hi, You need a better dictionary. 'Prepare' is also an intransitive verb, meaning 'get ready'. Look here.

Thank you^^
I think the dictionary you introduced it better^^
But Even though I checked a different definition, I'm still confused a little.
1. The party leadership is using management consultants to help prepare for the next election.
2. The party leadership is using management consultants to help prepare the next election.

Hi,
But Even though I checked a different definition, I'm still confused a little.
Consider a simpler, more concrete example.
Tom prepared for dinner. Sounds like eg he put on clean clothes, he washed his hands.
