a. I am tired from working in the garden.
b. I am tired for working in the garden.
Which is correct?
If they are both correct, do they mean the same?
I am pretty sure (a) works and means I am tired because of working in the garden.
(b) should mean the same, but it sounds old-fashioned to me.
(c) would mean I am so tired that I can't work in the garden.
c. I am too tired for working in the garden.
Is that correct?
Many thanks
for working
