02br 02br 00Linguistically, however, they aren't as equal. Whereas 'for' doesn't require explanation with a verb [making the original sentence correct], 'to' does - if you're using 'to', it has to be phrased like this:02br 02br 00'The will be a reward given/donated/offered/etc. since I've offered my help, what about that reward?
