Ma'am, what's the correct preposition in the below 2 questions?....Can you also explain the logic behind it please?

[hilzofarah]

Hey Jennifer. I want to thank you for all the effort and the time that you make for us. But there is always a question that leaves confused which is why you said to your son 'could' wear the bracelet instead of 'can' ? I look forward to your explanation

[theprince]

Be punctual "for/in/at" the classes?....Which preposition should we use?

[abyeshen]

Hi, Jennifer. I am really enjoy your teaching. I have a question about that I should use "I hope I would not make trouble for you" or ""I hope I would not make trouble to you"" Trouble is not a good thing, so I should use "to you", right?

[mehrdady]

''That is all for today''
What does for here indicates?Duration of the time(all that can be done today) or does it indicate belonging?(for today)
This book is for you(it belongs to you)
So is one meaning of for is belong to?

[hayatullahkarim]

Please help me the question,
I'm so regret for had not taken any picture with him.
Right or wrong in this sentence ..

[НадеждаНестереня]

Hi, Jennifer! Thanks for the lesson! Good information and good examples!
P.S. Could you help me? I've watched a cartoon in English (with English subtitles) recently. There was a phrase there - "You diame dust". Could you tell me its meaning? Actually I'm not sure that the phrase is written correctly in subtitles bucause it seems to me I can hear A DIME A DOZEN not DIAME DUST (I don't know exactly, the speech is fast). The common sense is - "You know what? You diame dust. I can't tell you which one is Marty".
