Difference between noun+to do+preposition VS noun+for doing (+preposition)
Through English grammar books, I understand that a proper preposition is always necessary when the verb in a to-infinitive before a noun is an intransitive verb, such as:
There is no place to play in.
But what about these forms?
A church is not a suitable place to play pop music in.
A church is not a suitable place for playing pop music in.
A church is not a suitable place for playing pop music.
The first and the last form look more natural to me, but I couldn’t find any clues about the differences between the second and the last form in English grammar books or dictionaries. I slightly remember that a Howard Sargeant's book about English preposition contains this content.
Which is grammatically correct between the second and the last form? What are the differences if both are available?
