Vocabulary
Prepositions to and for
I'd like to clarify some details about "to" and "for" meaning "towards".
As I understand it, to emphasizes movement towards a place whereas for puts emphasis on the direction of the movement.
For example, you can take a bus for Liverpool but you go TO Liverpool.
Or you say: "I am heading FOR the train station.
So my question is can these two sometimes be used interchangeably or do they not mean the same thing?
