Joaquin Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez - Adagio (piano accompaniment w/cuts)

"For" preposition phrases; adverb or adjective?

There are countless of times where I get confused about whether for is an adj. or adv. phrase.

"I have a message for you"
My Guess: Adj.

"I played the piano for you"
My Guess: Adv.

"I made a cake for my mom"
My Guess: Adv.

The thing is that I can't have a concise explanation FOR them..?LOL
Can someone help me out.

Oh, and the two sentences: "I removed the toxin froms the water" and "I removed the toxins in the water"
Do they mean the same thing, as in the prep. phrase part.

THANKSS!

I agree with your answers to the first two.
Adjectives modify/describe nouns, Adverbs modify/describe everything else.

The first one is modifying the "message," or the object, because it is "for you." The second example is modifying the verb, "played" because the action was done for the person. The last example is modifying the object "cake" because it is for your mom.

The last two sentences do not have the exact same significance because the first one is modifying the verb (so it's an adverb) and the second is modifying the "toxins" (a noun, so it's an adjective). They still explain the same thing, but in two different ways.

This isn't for sure, but I think it's right!
