Question

When do we use "responsible to" and when do we use "responsible for"?

Accepted Answer

"Responsible for" means "having done sth or been the cause of it (usually sth wrong)". It also means that something is your job or duty to deal with. If you are responsible TO a person or group, they have authority over you and you have to report to them about what you do (responsible to the board of directors).
