Prepositions
Why do we write 'to' with the word precious instead of for
For example:this is very precious to me
In the above sentence why can't we use for?

You could use 'for', but each English verb has its preferred preposition(s). Some can take several, some can take only one, and some can take no prepositions at all. These you must learn by experience or study; there are no solid rules.
