When you go away from one place and start going to another place, use LEAVE FOR:
- Iโm leaving for Beijing tomorrow. (Iโm going away from home and go to Beijing.)
- When are you leaving for work? (When are you going away from home and go to work?)
- The plane leaves for London at 10 am. (The plane leaves the airport and starts flying towards London at 10 am.)

LEAVE somethig/someone TO somebody means giving somebody the responsibility to take care of something/someone:
- You can leave the cleaning to me, Jeffโs doing the cooking.
- I canโt deal with Mr Jones anymore. I think Iโll just leave him to you.
- I have no time to finish this report. Do you think I can leave it to Tim?

Also, use LEAVE something TO somebody when somebody wants another person to have something after his/her death:
- Tom left his house to his daughter.
- He didnโt leave anything to his son.

*note: LEAVE TO is not used with places. Use FOR when talking about where somebody is going.
