Answer 3

Dear evklein1, Welcome to the forum, your question is very popular, I am still learning it, but there are a lot of good lessons on it here at SD.

Answer 4

I found this really helpful on Spanish Dict -learn-Spanish Grammar as I found por and para confusing especially around times, length of time and the practice test helped me understand it a bit better .

Answer 5

The 'por' looks like 'through' or 'by' for example; Ella habla por telefono. and the para is more like 'for' for example: Esta la naranja es para él'

consider 'por ejemplo' which means 'for example' as an exception.
