1. The man left a strong impression on me.

2. The man left a strong impression for me.

3. The man left me a strong impression.
=======================
Are they all grammatical and do they have the same meaning? What is the difference between #1 and #2?•English - Reed, Monday, February 1, 2016 at 4:34am
They are all grammatical, but #1 is the way we would say it. The other two could mean he left the impression of his foot in the sand or the impression of his head in a pillow.

Thank you for your help.

1. The man left a strong impression on me.

2. The man left a strong impression for me.

3. The man left me a strong impression.

4. The man left a strong impression to me.

(What about #4? Can we use 'to' instead of #1? Are #1 and #4 the same in meaning?)

#1 is fine.

Don't use #2 or #3 or #4.
