✴️For example : 👇👇
🔸If I do any overtime, can you pay me under the table so I won't have pay tax on it.
🔸If you make under-the-table payments to customs officials, you can get goods through the port without having them inspected.
‼️Note: If this idiom is used to qualify a noun or a noun phrase, hyphens must be used, as in "under-the-table payments".

💢Grammar
⭕️The difference between " To" & "For"
👉When to use "to":
‼️Use "to" when there is some kind of transfer happening or something is being moved from one place to another. "To" expresses direction.
👉Examples :
📒"We went from the restaurant to the party."
📒"Talk to your teacher and get more information about the exam."
📒"I go to the office every morning at 9am."
📒"He sold his car to me for $5,000."
👉When to use "for":
‼️Use "for" when something is being done to benefit something or someone else.
‼️Use "for" when you are trying to express purpose or the reason that something is happening
👉Examples:
📒"I bought this gift for you."
📒"He runs for his health."
📒"Bring this tea upstairs for your grandmother."
📒"Buckle up for safety."
👉 Now compare both:
📒"My friend brought lunch to me." (My friend physically carried the lunch and delivered it to me)
versus
📒"My friend brought lunch for me." (My friend paid for my lunch because he wanted to do something nice for me)
📒"I made a quick phone call to my mom." (I called with the intention of speaking with my mom)
versus
📒"I made a quick phone call for my mom." (My mom wasn't able to make the call so I made the call for her)
