Grammar

"to" and "for"

I''m sorry but I still can not get when we should use "to" and "for".

For instance, we can say:

"It's good to me."

"It's good for me."

I know that both of them are grammatically correct, but I can't figure out when we should use either of them. Could anybody tell me the difference and some guidelines on when to use each of these two lovely words?:)

I can't think of a situation where you would use It's good to me. You might say Sounds good to me! as an agreement, for example when someone made a suggestion.

  • You could say He is so good to me, meaning that a person's behaviour towards you was kind and generous (this would be an affectionate statement).
  • It's good for me could be used for describing food.
