Are the following sentences grammatically correct?

Question

 I cooked meal to my aunt.

 I prepared meal to my aunt.

Answer 1

Favourite answer

No...neither is right.

I cooked a meal FOR my aunt.

I prepared a mean FOR my aunt.

Both are correct. 'Cooked' is more often used in American English.

To be more exact, 'cooked ' means use of heat. 'Prepared' more appropriate for a fresh salad. No heat involved.

Answer 2

No, it is for not to

Answer 3

No           .

Answer 4

I cooked a meal for my aunt. ('Cooking" means using heat.)

I prepared a meal for my aunt. (Maybe you cooked it, but maybe it didn't need to be cooked.)

Simpler:

I made a meal for my aunt. (A simple verb, much more usual than "prepare".)

Again, it might mean you cooked a meal, or it might mean the meal didn't need to be cooked.

Answer 5

No. Meals (foods) are cooked for, not to, a person.

Answer 6

Oh, Peaceful.  Keep trying, it will come to you eventually.

"I cooked A meal FOR my aunt".  you could say prepared a meal for your aunt, especially if the meal was cold and not cooked, like sandwiches, perhaps.

Answer 7

I cooked a meal for my aunt. (not 'to')

I prepared a meal for my aunt. (Note: 'a meal' in both sentences.)

'Prepared' is more formal than 'cooked'.

If you cooked several meals then: "I cooked meals for..."

Answer 8

No, neither of those are grammatically correct

Answer 9

No:

I cooked a meal for my aunt.

I prepared a meal for my aunt. 

Answer 10

No, neither is correct.

You could say "I cooked a meal for my aunt" or "I prepared a meal for my aunt".

'A meal' is a non-specific meal. The noun 'meal' requires the indefinite article.

If you are talking to someone else about a particular meal, you could say "I cooked the meal for my aunt" or "I prepared the meal for my aunt."

Some meals have a name of their own, such as 'breakfast' or 'dinner'. In that case you could say,   "I cooked dinner for my aunt" or "I prepared dinner for my aunt".
