Aprender a hablar de propósitos en inglés es crucial para comunicarnos de manera efectiva. Este tema se centra en el uso adecuado de las preposiciones to y for, que son fundamentales para expresar nuestras intenciones y el propósito de nuestras acciones o el uso de ciertos objetos. Entender la diferencia y el contexto adecuado para aplicar estas preposiciones te abrirá puertas a una comunicación mucho más precisa y natural.
La preposición for seguida de un verbo en gerundio (-ing) se utiliza para hablar sobre la función o el propósito de un objeto, es decir, para qué está hecho o para qué se utiliza algo específico. Aquí, algunos ejemplos para entender su aplicación:
Como puedes notar, en estos ejemplos se define el propósito del objeto, destacando su función específica.
Por otro lado, usamos to seguido de un verbo en infinitivo (la forma base del verbo) cuando queremos hablar de nuestros propósitos o intenciones. Este uso es necesario para expresar lo que planeamos hacer o por qué realizamos una acción específica. Considera los siguientes ejemplos:
En ambos casos, se trata de intenciones personales o de la razón detrás de una acción particular, marcando la diferencia con el uso de for.
La mejor manera de consolidar estos conceptos es practicarlos. Te propongo un ejercicio simple pero eficaz. Responde la pregunta "What do you use internet for?" (¿Para qué usas Internet?). Utiliza la estructura con for más verbo en gerundio para hablar sobre el propósito de este recurso en tu vida cotidiana. Por ejemplo:
Te invito a reflexionar sobre tu respuesta y compartirla. Cada experiencia es única y enriquecerá nuestro aprendizaje colectivo al conocer diferentes formas de utilizar estos recursos tan cotidianos. ¡A practicar!

SUMMARY
We can express purpose using prepositions TO and FOR. There are two possible combinations:
FOR + VERB-ING or TO + INFINITIVE
Both options are okay whenever you want to express purposes. But if you use it in different ways depending on what you want to transmit.
We can use the FOR + action ING form: when we want to talk about the function of something (why something works that way and to explain use or purpose).
For example: These headphones are for listening to music only or I use this knife for cutting the bread.
We can use the TO + the infinitive form first: when you want to talk about the intention (pursuing with your action). And second: if you want to explain why something is the way it is.
For example: I went to the store to buy some food (intention) or She is saving money to buy a new car (people understand you, if you use the word FOR, but it sounds rare).
Both combinations are good ways to express purpose. And sometimes in some situations, both options are okay under certain conditions.
