Prepositions are hard, and these are the ones that confuse me the most:

  • It seems (…) [to / for] me
  • It looks like (…) [to / for] me
  • It feels (…) [to / for] me
  • It sounds like (…) [to / for] me
  • (…) makes more sense [to / for] me

Questions:

  • Are both valid?
    • If both are valid; is there any nuance as to which to use?
    • If they aren’t: is there a general rule or is it a case-by-case (as it usually is with prepositions)?

Thanks!

    That makes sense!
    So “for me” implies something is forced upon you, and it has nothing to do with what your opinion is about that thing… right?

    Thanks!

      Yes, exactly!

      Although I could express an opinion if I put “for me” first. Like “for me, beans are the worst meal ever”.
