Será que existe diferença entre “Deliver sth FOR sb” e “Deliver sth TO sb”.
Fiquei um pouco confuso quando vi as frases:
Around 10AM Federal Express DELIVERED a package FOR Tony, the marketing manager.
E
Sure, Tony, next time I will have the FedEx DELIVER a package TO you directly.
Desde já, obrigado.
Krish
Se fosse
“Federal Express delivered a package TO Tony”
eu entenderia que eles entregaram o pacote diretamente ao Tony (que é o que entendo do segundo exemplo – deliver a package TO you – entregar a você diretamente.
Em
“Federal Express delivered a package FOR Tony”
eu entendo que o package é para o Tony, mas foi entregue a outra pessoa pois o Tony não estava disponível para recebê-lo na hora, por qualquer motivo.
Com relação a essa situação, poderia ser dito “This is a package for Tony. Where is he?”
E “FedEx delivered the package to me (I was there when they knocked on the door) but it is for Tony”
Esclareceu?
Obrigado pelo esclarecimento.
Deu para entender muito bem.

Hi Teacher, great podcast as always. Some examples about the topic…

I will have my boss call to you when he arrive.
I always have my friends arrive early at the work, but always they arrive late.
Thank you very much, Ana Luiza!
Hi Debora,
Great examples + uma observação: se vc “have your friends arrive early at work” isso quer dizer q vc dá um jeito de seus amigos chegarem cedo no trabalho (e aí eles não chegariam atrasados)
