When do you use "por" and when do you use "para"?
I have heard both of these used for "for". How do you differentiate their use?

There is an excellent article in the Reference section on How to Use Por and Para.

por favor
¿para cuando?
por = for is a preposition
para = for preposition
From the Spanishdict dictionary this web site
There is no easy way to explaind the difference. I'll have to look it up. I just know the difference by instinct. I went to another dictionary and they just give example.
