Vocabulary
To and for in collocation
Hi,
"A strong sense of belonging to a group – a duty to, love for, and respect from others – is deeply satisfying and enriching." [From The Independent.]
Does the prepositions 'to' (in "a duty to") and 'for' (in "love for") collocate with "a group" or "others'?
Thank you.
