First, I will say some sentences in Spanish. I will say each sentence in two different ways &#8211; one using POR and one using PARA \u2013 but only one will be correct. I would like you to tell me which sentence is the correct one:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Este regalo es por mi madre \/ Este regalo es para mi madre.<br \/>\nEl restaurante est\u00e1 por all\u00ed \/ El restaurante est\u00e1 para all\u00ed.<br \/>\nAna compr\u00f3 ese vestido por 20 d\u00f3lares \/ Ana compr\u00f3 ese vestido para 20 d\u00f3lares.<br \/>\nTe voy a enviar un documento por email \/ Te voy a enviar un documento para email.<br \/>\nEstudio espa\u00f1ol por comunicarme mejor con mis amigos espa\u00f1oles \/ Estudio espa\u00f1ol para comunicarme mejor con mis amigos espa\u00f1oles <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Next, can you translate these sentences from English to Spanish using POR or PARA?:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will finish my studies around July.<br \/>\nSonia changed her jacket for this T-shirt.<br \/>\nWe are heading for Madrid.<br \/>\nAll has to be done by Friday.<br \/>\nFor me, this is a very boring book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Please tell me if the following Spanish sentences using POR and PARA are correct:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ma\u00f1ana voy por Barcelona.<br \/>\nHemos comprado esto para ti.<br \/>\nPor m\u00ed, esta situaci\u00f3n es est\u00fapida.<br \/>\nCarlos ha venido por ti.<br \/>\nTenemos que terminar todo por ma\u00f1ana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally, I would like you to tell me what these sentences mean:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00bfPara ti es dif\u00edcil estudiar espa\u00f1ol?<br \/>\nPara hablar bien espa\u00f1ol, tienes que practicar mucho.<br \/>\nEstudio espa\u00f1ol por mi familia.<br \/>\nVamos por aqu\u00ed, el camino es m\u00e1s corto.<br \/>\nMa\u00f1ana vamos para Valencia.<\/p>\n<p>Esto es todo por la clase de hoy. <\/p>\n<p>When exactly to use Por and Para is something that takes a lot of practice. So if you don\u00b4t feel very confident with it at first, don\u00b4t worry, most people who study Spanish feel the same. Take it slowly and every time you wonder about using Por or Para refer to the pointers in this video lesson to choose the correct one. Little by little the right option will sound correct to you and you will get better at it. So the key is patience and perseverance.<\/p>\n<p>Que paseis una fant\u00e1stica semana y hasta pronto!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are enjoying my weekly interactive Spanish lessons.
