Quick por vs. para question for a native ENGLISH speaker, please
Rusty or Perikles or Elaina - this would be a perfect question for one of you guys...
 A native Spanish-speaking friend has been asking me about the following.The sentence is: El cajero pregunta por ti. Necesita tu firma. Why is it POR and not PARA? The list of reasons for por vs. para that my friend gave me is: Por: Action (reason or motive) Transportation Exchange Movement (by, along, near, through) Proximity of location or time Time (general por la mañana) Errand (purpose of errand) Duration Para: Purpose Work Recipient Career (being studied) Opinion Relationship/Comparison Deadline/due date Destination
