EXPLANATION:

• The above is an instance of using prepositions. 'Prepositions' are words used to link pronouns, phrases, or nouns to other words in a sentence. They act to link the 'objects', 'people', 'locations' and 'time of a sentence'.
• 'Prepositions' are generally 'short words', and they are 'usually placed in front of nouns'. The preposition ‘For’ is used to convey us a reason, use of something, or purpose.
• ‘To’ is used to denote a person, a place, or a thing which something or someone moves towards or the 'direction of something'.
