How do you say "I pay for rmy food"?
I am giving simple examples of the verb "pagar". I want my students to be able to say "I pay for my books". Or "I pay for the lunch in the cafeteria." Do I need the word "for", if so, is it "por" or "para"?

With the verb "pagar" you don't need to use "por" or "para" since it is implied in the verb (similar to "buscar").
I would use "por" when using the verb "pagar", since there is an exchange of money for goods.
