What does it and for mean?

You're asking about the words "it" and "for" - two very common English words! Here's a breakdown of what they mean and how they're used:

It

* Pronoun: "It" is a pronoun, which means it replaces a noun or noun phrase. It refers to something already mentioned or understood.

* Example: "The dog is barking. It is very loud." ("It" refers to the dog.)

* Impersonal Subject: "It" can also be used as a subject when the real subject is an action or state of being.

* Example: "It is raining." (The action of raining is the subject)

* Formal Subject: "It" can be used to introduce a clause or sentence that describes the real subject.

* Example: "It is important to learn new things." (The real subject is "learning new things".)

For

* Preposition: "For" indicates purpose, reason, or intended recipient.

* Purpose: "I bought a new book for my niece."

* Reason: "She stayed inside for the rain."

* Recipient: "This gift is for you."

* Time Period: "For" can also indicate a duration of time.

* Example: "I waited for an hour."

Key Points:

* "It" is often used to avoid repetition.

* "For" connects words or phrases to show a relationship.

* The specific meaning of "it" and "for" will depend on the context of the sentence.
