Lesson · por vs. para

Por vos y para la abuela

A focused lesson on por vs. para. A friend is stuck in traffic and asks you to take a birthday gift across Buenos Aires to her grandmother before the party and leave a note so the doorman lets you up. To pull off the errand (the right recipient, the right route, on time, for the right reason, and a note that works) you first learn when each preposition is used (and that English 'for' is often por), then notice it, practice form and use, and say it yourself, every step gated by understanding.
