Por= by.... la caja esta por la ventana ( the box is by the window) para= to....Para comer necesitas una cuchara ( to eat, you need a spoon) Para donde vas? ( Where are you going to?) Remember, there might be exceptions: Por favor Por Dios PARA is also a form of the verb PARAR(stop) El carro se para solo( the car stops by itself)
