?Which word?
ready to do or ready for?
Ready to is followed by a verb: 'ready to go'. Ready for is followed by a noun: 'ready for the exam', 'ready for anything'. Do not mix them: 'ready for go' and 'ready to the exam' are wrong. Readily means willingly or easily: 'readily available'; readiness is the noun: 'in readiness for'.
'Ready to' के बाद verb आता है: 'ready to go'। 'Ready for' के बाद noun: 'ready for the exam', 'ready for anything'। इन्हें मिलाइए मत: 'ready for go' और 'ready to the exam' गलत हैं। Readily का अर्थ 'स्वेच्छा से या आसानी से' है: 'readily available'; readiness noun है: 'in readiness for'।
§Grammar and usage
Ready for a noun, ready to do a verb.
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: noun के साथ 'ready for', verb के साथ 'ready to do'।
