Use to if you&#39;re thinking of school, class, or dinner purely as destinations. Use for if you&#39;re thinking of being somewhere for the purpose of participating in the activities characteristic of the destination.

I arrived late for school doesn&#39;t work as well.http://www.englishforums.com/English/LateForTo/znzdg/post.htmFri, 24 Apr 2009 03:37:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:482976Teo2http://www.englishforums.com/English/LateForTo/znzdg/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-482976.xmllate for (school, class, dinner,...) late to (school, class, dinner,...)
