Feb 25, 2015 at 19:57 comment added apsillers @redkey88 That reading seems less likely than the two I've included in my answer, but might be possible. (Consider: "I didn't do it for you. I did it for me.") However, it still doesn't say who received the present. It only says that he gives a present [to someone], and that act of giving was done for my benefit. ("His job forced him to be far away from me, so, for me, he gave his boss his resignation." -- i.e., he quit his job for my benefit)
Feb 25, 2015 at 19:42 comment added Dasik I intended 'for' as 'for my benefit or for my good' if so 'He gives a present to me for my benefit' is this sentence possible?
Feb 25, 2015 at 19:30 comment added apsillers @Tetsujin That's a slightly better way to read it; I've added it.
