Hello everyone.
My question is why we can put "for" at the beginning but we can't do the same thing to "to" in such a dialogue.
-Are you ready?
- I am ready for the meeting, but for the the party, I am not ready.
I think this putting for at the beginning is acceptable and not terrible.
But how about this one?
- Are you ready?
- I am ready to go to the meeting but to attend the party, I am not ready.
I think this one is really terrible, and not acceptable. But why?
Do we have any reasons to say that "for" is acceptable while "to" isn't?
Thanks.
