- Él está por correr.

My meaning was to be:
- You are about to close the door.
- I am about to watch television.
- He is about to go running.

Son correctos?
Yes, they are correct, I made those corrections as to make you aware how you could use the para word. (presuppositories, I think they are called?)

I'm frequently looking things up in the dictionary, grammar book, AND online to make sure that I understand sentence constructions.

Start doing what I am telling you, else you are making your life miserable even in English!
