ศัพท์อังกฤษ

การใช้ภาษาอังกฤษ ที่ถือว่าถูกต้องในที่นี้ อ้างอิงตามมาตรฐานของภาษา

"...Evidence คุณสามารถ provide evidence to a court = จัดหลักฐานพยานให้แก่ศาล

หรือ จัดให้มี enough evidence to convict บางคนได้ = มีหลักฐานมากพอ

แต่ในการใช้ตามมาตรฐาน ของ in evidence of นั้น ต้องใช้ of แทนที่ to

His trembling was evidence of his fear.

The study finds little evidence of overt discrimination.

There was no obvious evidence of break-in...."

I think that (highlighted sentenc) is misleading. 'evidence of' = 'proof of'; 'evidence for' = 'proof for' (ie. There is enough evidence for conviction.);

'evidence to' is actually a part of the construct 'evidence "to [do] someting" (eg. We have enough evidence to proof existence of ...)

We cannot use 'evidence of' in place of 'evidence for' or 'evidence to'. Each has a clear and different meaning.

[Nathavuth]

You can provide evidence to a court, even enough evidence to convict someone; but the standard expression “is evidence of” requires “of" rather than “to” in sentences like this: “Driving through the front entrance of the Burger King is evidence of Todd’s inexperience in driving.” If you could substitute “evidences” or “evidenced” in your sentence, you need “of."

Above is the article I made referenced to, found in 'Common Errors in English Usage,

Edited by Paul Brians of Washington State U

Also I found many example of sentences followed by 'to'
