When to use the prepositions 'for' and 'of'?

Sorry....It has been a long time since we posted an article here. We will try to keep up....And thanks for your well wishes.

Today, let us see the usage of 2 prepositions 'for' and 'of'.

We must use 'for' : when we describe the reason for which we do something;when we give an example; when we indicate a sense of owning.

E.g. 1) I bunked the classes for watching my favourite hero's movie.
2) Sree Rama is a good example for an ideal son.
3) This call is recorded for quality purposes only.
4) This car is booked for the Wadiyar family.

But wait. Example 2 can also be rewritten using 'of' !
5) Sree Rama is an example of an ideal son.

So its important to know when we can use 'of'. If we want to highlight what is on the left hand side of the preposition then we must use 'for'.

On the contrary, if the Right Hand Side is more important, use 'of' (Like in the example No. 5).

Is it clear?

Now, 'of' can also be used when we indicate a part of a whole.
E.g. A piece of cake, A slice of the business, A wing of the hospital, 10% of the total income.....etc.

With this knowledge, everyone of us can use 'for' and 'of' appropriately.

Bye...Till we meet next time.
