Elementary - English Grammar - Infinitive of Purpose - Giving reasons for an action! 

Hi there! We use "for + ing" when we're describing the purpose of nouns, like devices or machines, but we don't use it for describing the purpose of an action. For example: This device is for printing contracts. This website is great for finding good deals on books A telephone is useful for keeping in touch. But when we describe the purpose of an action (a verb), we use "to + infinitive" Like: He went out to see his friends He left to have lunch I'm flying tomorrow to visit my family. Hope this helps!

@@franklyspeakingenglish this method is useful for finding the solution. Is this correct.

Yes, this is okay because it's describing a method, which is a noun 👍 👌

Sir thy are afraid of seeing horror movies . They are afraid of horror movies. What the information after preposition difference in this sentences.

The only difference is the structures "afraid of + noun" and "afraid of + verb-ing". The meaning is the same. ✌️

Thank you 🙏 ✌️

They're both grammatically correct and mostly mean the same thing. "afraid to watch" sounds a bit more natural to me but they're both okay. I'd suggest "I get scared when I watch horror movies" because when you say "afraid to watch" it sounds like you've never watched one before and you're afraid to do it (for the first time)

Indeed!
