    Por seems generally to describe a means or cause (via, thru, etc.) while para generally describes a purpose/aim.

Your verb chart has been a game changer for me, also how you group those pesky pretérito irregular verbs, I finally feel I have half a chance of remembering some of them! Muchas gracias por dar tan generosamente de su tiempo, es muy apreciado.

    Me gusta mucho. A veces por y para es un problema para mi. Gracias.

Thankyou so much for what you do.

    The prepositions por and para, of similar etymological origin, are very common in Spanish.
    In general,
    indicates destination, purpose or final objective;
    indicates the cause and means through which an end is reached.

    The differences between por and para was initially quite challenging for me.
    But eventually, I encountered enough differences to remember them, and also remember their meanings. And at times, the differences can be very subtle.
    It's the sort of thing which is best learned by the particulars in a text book in a classroom setting.

    • @unusualle4326
      @unusualle4326 3 роки тому +1

      When the direct object of a verb is a specific person or pet animal, 'a' is placed immediately before it. So for your case, I believe amor is the verb of the sentence, 'a' would be placed right after it. Keep in mind though, this type of 'a' is a personal 'a'. You can do more research on that. Something to remember is that a personal 'a' is NOT used after the verb 'tener'. It's used for every other verb, however, you must include the rule that I mentioned above, which is that 'a' is placed right after the verb if the sentence contains a specific person. Hope this helped!

It would more accurately be translated as doing something "because of her/his love of the children". Her/his "love of the children" is the motivation for what is being done.
