Por or para? Write it right

Choose and write por or para, fix the classic mistakes and translate sentences where English uses “for”.

English “for” can be por or para. As a rule of thumb: para looks ahead to a goal, a destination, a deadline or a person who receives something; por looks back at a cause, or describes a route, a period, a means or an exchange.
