Two passive sentences

Regarding the two sentences below:

(A) The movie ticket was given to me by my father yesterday.
(B) The movie ticket was given for me by my father yesterday.

Are they both grammatically correct? If not, anyway, do you often hear both patterns used in real English?

  

Top answer

The first sentence is correct. The second is not grammatical as "for" is the wrong preposition.
