ID: l4-s12
INTRO: This part is about saying what things are for. Here's the first pattern — use something FOR doing something.
When you want to say what a thing is for, use **use** + the thing + **for** + an **-ing** word:
CARD: When you want to say what a tool or object is for, state the thing, then add "for" and an action.
{We use a knife for cutting meat.}
CARD: Remember to always add "-ing" to the action word after "for".
{We use a cup for drinking coffee.}
{We use a camera for taking pictures.}
With **he**, **she**, or **it**, the verb takes -s: {He uses a knife for cutting meat.}
CARD: When talking about "he", "she", or "it", add an "s" to the verb. Say "uses" instead of "use".
{He uses a knife for cutting meat.}
{She uses a camera for taking pictures.}

ID: l4-s14
INTRO: There's a second way to say exactly the same thing — use something TO do something.
English gives you a second pattern with the same meaning: **use** + the thing + **to** + verb:
CARD: English gives you a simple pattern to explain what an object is for: **use** plus the thing, plus **to** and a verb.
{We use a knife to cut meat.}
{We use a cup to drink tea.}
CARD: The second half of the sentence always uses **to** followed by the action you do.
{We use a camera to take pictures.}
Both patterns mean the same thing — pick either one.
CARD: Remember to change the verb to **uses** when the subject is he, she, or it.
{He uses a knife to cut meat.}
{She uses a camera to take pictures.}
