The word 'for' is a preposition and a conjunction.

  • A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or a pronoun and another word in a sentence.
  • A conjunction is a word used to join two words or two groups of words in a sentence.

Example functions:

Mom made lunch for us. (relates the pronoun 'us' to the verb 'made')

Mom made lasagna for dinner. (relates the noun 'dinner' to the noun 'lasagna')

John could not enter the pub, for he had not yet turned 19." (joins the two parts of the compound sentence)
