	Clive  +  653543 Sun, 25 Jan 09 02:48 PM Hi, Can you tell me what is the difference of using "of" and "to" in the below? President of the United States eg Obama President to the United States an ambassador of the United States eg sent from the US to France an ambassador to the United States eg sent from France to the US 'of' indicates 'belonging to', 'connected to'. So, #1 and #3 are natural. 'to' indicates 'sent there to perform the role'. #4 is natural, but #2 is not.
