well that cheating is going to hurt you when you get to later grades. Don’t learn, i repeat, DO NOT learn por or para as “for”.
they are better interpreted as para=a direct line to something ( delivery, goal, destination) and Por in the way of or in the line of ( so mode of travel, motivation ( not goal) , duration, and mode of travel or mode of activity). This is the best I’ve gathered as a definition from years with spanish speakers. GL

Vs por

These are both translated as for, but they have different meanings in context. It can be hard to understand the nuanced differences, but one instance in which you use para is when stating a specific purpose. Ex: These snacks are for the party. The medication is for elderly patients. I studied a lot for the test.
If you can stop a sentence before “for” and follow it up with the question “for what purpose?” which will be answered by the rest of the sentence, use para.
