"J'ai envie de faire quelque chose pour lui" ou "de lui faire..."

Question

Choice A: "J'ai envie de faire quelque chose pour lui...."

Choice B: "J'ai envie de lui faire quelque chose...."

Why is the second one is wrong? Merci pour votre assistance.

The second one is not wrong, it just means something different. — jlliagre, Commented Sep 20, 2016 at 23:38
