Learning the differences between por and para is always hard because these two words translates into the same words in English <em>for, by, on, through, because of, in exchange for, in order to,</em> as well as other prepositions and phrases.

  • Para is used when talking about <em>destinations, recipients, deadlines, and goals.</em>
  • Por is used when talking about <em>movement, modes and means of travel and communication, exchanges, duration, and motivation, etc.</em>

So let's explain each case:


<h2>1. Right answer:</h2><h3>para</h3>

<em>Apunta hacia el camino que va </em><em>para</em><em> la playa</em>


Here the preposition para stands for <em>destination, </em>that is, the statue of Simón Bolívar points towards a physical destination around the beach. On the other hand, <em>caracas</em> officially <em>Santiago de León de Caracas</em>, is the capital and largest city of Venezuela, a south american country.


<h2>2. Right answer:</h2><h3>para</h3>

<em>¿Se viaja mucho desde aquí </em><em>para</em><em> ir a la playa? </em>


Here the correct option we need to choose is also para because this sentence also stands for destination. So in this question we want to know how long it takes to go from here to the beach, that is, the time it takes to go from a point A to a point B. So it is possible this could take a long time or a short time.


<h2>3. Right answer:</h2><h3>para</h3>

<em>No, no mucho, pero </em><em>para </em><em>viajar a la playa debemos terminar de estudiar. Aquí hay mucha gente en la plaza. </em>


This sentence also stands for destination, so we would choose para as well From this context, we know that it takes a short time to go from here to the  beach. Moreover, from the context we know that the mentioned point A is a place near a square and point B is the beach, the place they want to go.


<h2>4. Right answer:</h2><h3>para</h3>

<em>¿</em><em>Para</em><em> qué Charlie? </em>


We can know that this is the correct answer only if we take a look in the next item, that is, it provides the context of the dialogue. So here para stands for <em>goal, </em>that is, it talks about goals and purposes. So he asks for the reason they are in this place.


<h2>5. Right answer:</h2><h3>para</h3>

<em>¡</em><em>Para</em><em> comer antes de toda esa gente!</em>


So here the context is clear, that is, the purpose of the previous question <em>¿</em><em>Para</em><em> qué Charlie?  (</em><em>Why</em><em> Charlie?) </em>is answered here with an exclamation <em>¡</em><em>Para</em><em> comer antes de toda esa gente! </em>Accordingly, the purpose is for them to eat before all the people.


<h2>6. Right answer:</h2><h3>por</h3>

<em>Con tanta gente creo que es buena idea irnos pronto </em><em>por </em><em>un café.  </em>


Here we need to use the preposition por. To say <em>ir por un café </em>is common in Spanish. In fact, it is always common to say <em>To get something, </em>therefore, we can say:

<em>Ir por un helado (ice cream)</em>

<em>Ir por unos tragos (to get drinks)</em>


<h2>7-8 Right answer:</h2><h3>para - para</h3>

<em>¡Yo vine a la plaza </em><em>para</em><em> ver la estatua de Bolívar y </em><em>para</em><em> probar arepas!</em>


  • 7. Here we use para because this preposition stands here for <em>goals, </em>that is, my purpose to be here in the square is to see the statue of Simón Bolívar. The name of the squares where  a statue of Simón Bolívar stands is called <em>La Plaza Bolívar. </em>So it is common to find a square with this name in each important city in Venezuela.<em> </em>
  • 8. Here we also use para because this preposition stands here for <em>goals, </em>that is, my purpose to be here in the square is to eat <em>arepas.  Arepa</em> is a type of food made of ground maize dough or cooked flour. This is an important meal in Venezuela. It can be served can with a lot of accompaniments such as cheese, cuajada, black beans, among others.
