With or without "for" (follow-up question)

Post by Nami Nami »

Dear teacher,

Thank you for your reply to my previous question.

If the meeting is to be held next month; and I want to tell my boss that I will do the "scheduling work" of the meeting this Friday. What should I say?

(1) I will schedule the meeting for this Friday.
(2) I will schedule the meeting this Friday.
(3) others....?

Thanks.

#2 is possible, but unidiomatic.

--> I will decide the date of the meeting this Friday.
