Learning the differences between por and para is always hard because these two words translates into the same words in English for, by, on, through, because of, in exchange for, in order to, as well as other prepositions and phrases.
Para is used when talking about destinations, recipients, deadlines, and goals.Por is used when talking about movement, modes and means of travel and communication, exchanges, duration, and motivation, etc.So let's explain each case:
Apunta hacia el camino que va para la playa
Here the preposition para stands for destination, that is, the statue of Simón Bolívar points towards a physical destination around the beach. On the other hand, caracas officially Santiago de León de Caracas, is the capital and largest city of Venezuela, a south american country.
¿Se viaja mucho desde aquí para ir a la playa?
Here the correct option we need to choose is also para because this sentence also stands for destination. So in this question we want to know how long it takes to go from here to the beach, that is, the time it takes to go from a point A to a point B. So it is possible this could take a long time or a short time.
No, no mucho, pero para viajar a la playa debemos terminar de estudiar. Aquí hay mucha gente en la plaza.
This sentence also stands for destination, so we would choose para as well From this context, we know that it takes a short time to go from here to the beach. Moreover, from the context we know that the mentioned point A is a place near a square and point B is the beach, the place they want to go.
¿Para qué Charlie?
We can know that this is the correct answer only if we take a look in the next item, that is, it provides the context of the dialogue. So here para stands for goal, that is, it talks about goals and purposes. So he asks for the reason they are in this place.
¡Para comer antes de toda esa gente!
So here the context is clear, that is, the purpose of the previous question ¿Para qué Charlie? (Why Charlie?) is answered here with an exclamation ¡Para comer antes de toda esa gente! Accordingly, the purpose is for them to eat before all the people.
Con tanta gente creo que es buena idea irnos pronto por un café.
Here we need to use the preposition por. To say ir por un café is common in Spanish. In fact, it is always common to say To get something, therefore, we can say:
Ir por un helado (ice cream)
Ir por unos tragos (to get drinks)
¡Yo vine a la plaza para ver la estatua de Bolívar y para probar arepas!

Which honor did Chilean writer Gabriela Mistral receive?
Author of the Year
Newberry Book Award
Nobel Prize for Literature
Congressional Medal of Honor
Gabriela Mistral, whose real name was Lucila Godoy Alcayaga, was a Chilean poet and writer born in 1889. She won several awards for her poetic and educational work. However, her greatest prize was the Nobel Prize for Literature awarded in 1945 for her literary works.
It is worth noting that at that time this award had never been granted to a Latin American person and only four women had achieved it before in history.
This means Gabriela Mistral was the first Latin American woman to receive the honorable award.

To make money, one must work.
Para ganar dinero, ___________ trabajar.
fill in blank
Ella siempre está _____ a la hora del almuerzo. a. trabajando b. repitiendo c. diciendo
This is the correct answer because it is the more logical option. This sentence is given in the present progressive that we use when talking about something that is happening now. This is formed by the verb estar plus a present participle following the formula:
estar + present participle
The present participle is formed using the ending ndo that matches the ing in English. So está is the conjugation of the verb estar for the third person singular in the simple present and trabajando is the present participle that comes from the verb trabajar. Finally:
Ella siempre está trabajando a la hora del almuerzo.

Fill in the blank with the correct Spanish word: "Esta muchacha es _______ hermana de Juan."
A. los
B. la
C. el
D. las
In Spanish grammar the article is a word that clearly indicates the gender and the number of the noun. Its function is to modify the noun it introduces.
The articles are as follows:
Variable Articles:
Defined Articles:
Singular Masculine: el
Singular Femenine: la
Plural Masculine: los
Plural Femenine: las
Indefinite Articles:
Singular Masculine: un/uno
Singular Femenine: una
Plural Masculine: unos
Plural Femenine: unas
Invariable Articles:
Neutral: Lo
Contractions: al (a+el) and del (de+el)
Now, in this sentence muchacha (girl) is a feminine singular noun.
We also have more information: she is not any girl, she is Juan's sister.
Therefore, we must use the defined article for singular femenine she (ella), which is la:
Esta muchacha es la hermana de JuanThis girl is Juan's sister
