1. ”Explain to you”: This means giving an explanation directly to someone. It’s about communicating information so the person understands.
- Example: “I will explain the rules to you.”
2. “Explain for you”: This means explaining something on behalf of someone, usually because they need help or cannot do it themselves.
- Example: “I will explain the problem for you” (because maybe you don’t understand it, or you need help).
In short:
- “Explain to you” = I give you the explanation directly.
- “Explain for you” = I explain something to help you or on your behalf.
