Hello Sharon, Do not know if your question is related to the Portuguese language, as in your profile, you do not relate to this language. If, following my comment, if not, please ignore. POR - POR in Portuguese can be a preposition, that expresses place (She passed by here) {in Portuguese: ela passou por aqui}; expresses time (lived for many years) {in Portuguese: viveram por muitos anos}; We can also use the "PÔR" is a verb {put) - {COLOCAR} PARA - is also a preposition that expresses feelings / judgment / opinion from someone about someone else or something: "FOR IT, THE GAME WAS VERY BAD" - in Portuguese = {para ela, o jogo foi ruim). You can also express the place where someone turns: IT WAS FOR MEXICO - in Portuguese = {ela foi PARA o México} I hope I have helped you.
