✔ 最佳答案
"Ask for" and "ask to" both means request.
But they are being used differently.
Ask for should be followed by a pronoun or noun.
e.g. James asks for a blanket.
Susan asks for help.
Ryan asks Ashley for a drink.
Ask to should be followed by a verb.
e.g. Tom asks to join the football team.
(with this example, it has a meaning of "invite".)
Patty asks Alex to clean the dishes.
(Patty requests Alex to clean the dishes.)
Hope this help.
