How to use "Thanks for " or "Thank you for" in sentences?

 Both "Thanks for" and "Thank you for" are correct and can be used in sentences. However, there are some subtle differences in their usage.

Thanks for is a more informal way of saying "Thank you for." It is often used in casual conversation or in written communication with friends and family. For example:

• Thanks for helping me move.
• Thanks for the coffee.
• Thanks for the ride.

Thank you for is a more formal way of saying "Thanks for." It is often used in professional settings or in written communication with people you don't know well. For example:

• Thank you for your time and consideration.
• Thank you for your generous donation.
• Thank you for the invitation.

In general, it is best to use "Thank you for" in formal settings, while "Thanks for" can be used in both formal and informal settings.

Here are some more tips for using "Thanks for" and "Thank you for" in sentences:

• Be specific about what you are thanking the person for. For example, instead of saying "Thanks for everything," say "Thanks for helping me with my homework" or "Thanks for sending me the link to that article."
• Be sincere. Make sure your thanks sounds genuine and heartfelt.
• Be timely. Thank the person as soon as possible after they have done something for you.

If you are unsure whether to use "Thanks for" or "Thank you for," it is always best to err on the side of caution and use the more formal "Thank you for."
