Thanks Angelica. I was trying to make a point that like the Chinese. They are told that the sun rises in the east. They do not need to understand why only to accept it. It is the way they are tough.
I f I got a good understanding of what the different meanings for por then I could construct any sentence that required it without difficulty. I realise that over does not mean to fly over.
what would be the literal translations of
The airport is that way.
Is there a bank around here?
Both ' that way' and 'around' here are por Por allí
I would love to get a true Spanish only dictionary. Rusty does say you should. but unless I can get a Spanish amazon website...
Por takes up a page of my bi-lingual dictionary which include sections
