										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be challenging to use the prepositions POR and PARA correctly in <a href="https://www.spanishdict.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spanish</a>. The following contrasting guidelines are meant to identify the specific contexts for each. Hope it helps!</p>
<p>POR is used to show the <strong>initial stage</strong> of something:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cause or reason</strong> &#8211; Me casé <strong>por</strong> amor, no <strong>por</strong> dinero.</li>
</ul>
<p>PARA, on the other hand, is used to show the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">end point</span> of something:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Objective or result</span> &#8211; Ha comprado una sopa <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> cenar.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Recipient of an action</span> &#8211; Este regalo es <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> ella.</li>
</ul>
<p>When it comes to Time, POR is used to show:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A part of the day</strong> &#8211; Vas a la escuela <strong>por</strong> las mañanas.</li>
<li><strong>An approximate time</strong> &#8211; Voy a verlos <strong>por</strong> Navidad.</li>
<li><strong>Frequency</strong> (when followed by a time unit) &#8211; Corre tres vezes <strong>por</strong> semana. (the time unit being <em>semana</em> here)</li>

<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A time limit or deadline</span> &#8211; Tengo que hacer mi tarea <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> mañana.</li>
</ul>
<p>When we talk about a Place, POR is used to show:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A place that you need to pass through in order to get somewhere</strong> &#8211; El tren de Sevilla pasa <strong>por</strong> Madrid.</li>
<li><strong>Movement through a space or place</strong> &#8211; Me gusta pasear <strong>por</strong> el bosque.</li>

<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The direction of a movement</span> &#8211; Se va <span style="text-decoration: underline;">para</span> su casa.</li>
</ul>
