    \n
  • I went to the college for an interview with Professor Mark. <\/b><\/li>\n
  • We stopped at the pub for a drink. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For + -ing form<\/h3>\n

    For<\/b> can be used before an -ing form <\/b>to express the purpose of a thing especially when the thing is the subject of the clause.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • An altimeter is used for measuring <\/b>height above sea level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      When the clause has a person as subject, it is more common to use an infinitive to express the purpose of a thing.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • We <\/b>use altimeters to measure <\/b>height above sea level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        For + -ing <\/b>can also be used to explain the behaviour that causes a particular reaction.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • They punished the child for lying. <\/b><\/li>\n
        • We are grateful to you for helping us <\/b>out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
