what's the different between "I bought a book for him." and "I bought a book to him." ? Are they both right?Then if i say"I bought a book for Tom." Who will really pay for the book? Does it mean "I bought Tom a book as a present" or "I help Tom to buy a book, and when I give the book to him he will pay me back ." How can I separate these two situations? Thank you for all your answers!

"I bought a book for him." Bought for "I bought a book to him." Bought to doesn't work; its not proper phrase I brought a book to him. Brought to is phrase that works. It means that you bring book to him (in past).

Hi. No, they are not both right. 'I bought a book for him' is the correct option. Tim

"I bought a book to him." is WRONG. That is the difference.
