Por vs para with real contexts

What you’ll practice

Instead of memorizing a checklist, this quiz trains you to pick por or para based on meaning: cause vs purpose, movement vs destination, duration vs deadlines, and exchange vs recipient.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can slow down, reread the sentence, and focus on why the correct preposition fits.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: you’ll get straightforward uses (e.g., destination or reason) alongside “looks-right” traps where both could seem possible until you interpret the context.

Choose your question count and difficulty before you start to tailor a quick practice run or a longer session that covers more patterns.

• Practice purpose vs reason (para + goal, por + motive/cause)
• Train time ideas: duration (por) vs deadline/appointment (para)
• Spot exchange and price (por) vs recipient and destination (para)
• Handle passive/agent and “by” meanings (por)
• Build intuition with common set phrases and collocations

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many mistakes come from translating “for” directly from English; this quiz pushes you to decide based on intent, endpoint, and whether something is a cause, route, or substitution.

If you miss a question, look for the hidden clue: is the sentence pointing to a goal (para) or explaining a reason/means (por)? That single shift usually resolves the ambiguity.
