Nice to Me or Nice for Me Dear English Speakers, I know that the usage of 'to' in the expression like this, "You are really nice to me", means that someone is acting nicely towards me. However, I also read somewhere that there's an expression like this, "You did something nice for me." The questions are: (1) Can I use "to" in the latter sentence? (2) Is there an explanation about the usage "for" as "to" in the first sentence? Thank you for your time and help, Terecia

You did something nice for me means the act of doing something for a person: you cooked me a meal when I was not feeling well You cleaned the kitchen when I was tired You bought me flowers when I was sad or for my birthday I wouldn't use "to" in the latter sentence

To be nice TO someone, but to do something nice FOR someone. See the difference??
