1. 0:00Let's look at the most common uses of B
2. 0:02versus in Spanish. A lot of times we get
3. 0:05confused as English speakers because we
4. 0:07want this to mean for in English. And a
5. 0:10lot of times it does, but I recommend to
6. 0:12master this. Just look at the different
7. 0:14situations that trigger B and the
8. 0:16different situations that trigger bad
9. 0:18and treat them as two different words.
10. 0:20So here are some common uses. B can mean
11. 0:22for, but when you did something for
12. 0:25someone or for a reason or even because
13. 0:28of. I did it for you.
14. 0:31This means that I really was motivated
15. 0:34to do it for you or because of you. It's
16. 0:37because of that we couldn't go.
17. 0:42Is for someone when they are receiving
18. 0:45something. This gift is for you.
19. 0:50can also mean in order to. I study to
20. 0:53learn or in order to learn
21. 0:57can mean through something or even
22. 1:00around. Walk through the park.
23. 1:03We are walking around the park.
24. 1:07When you're talking about duration, how
25. 1:09long you did something for, [snorts] you
26. 1:11want to use. I worked there for 3 years.
27. 1:16When you're exchanging something like
28. 1:18money, use poor. I paid $20 for this
29. 1:22shirt.
30. 1:25Poor can also mean by when you're
31. 1:28talking about who something was done by
32. 1:30or even by means of maybe transportation
33. 1:33or something else.
34. 1:36I sent it by mail. This book was written
35. 1:40by Maria.
36. 1:43Maria para can mean to when you're
37. 1:46referring to a destination
38. 1:49Madrid. We're going to travel to or for
39. 1:52Madrid. I leave for or to Colombia
40. 1:55tomorrow
41. 1:58manana. When you're talking about
42. 1:59deadlines, use para. When you want to
43. 2:01say something is due, there's no word
44. 2:03for this in Spanish. Instead, you have
45. 2:05to say for when something is. this job
46. 2:08is due on Monday or this job is for
47. 2:12Monday.
48. 2:16My last tip is when in doubt, use
49. 2:18because if you are wrong, it sounds less
50. 2:20wrong than if you used poor. And by the
