English Translation
My father exercises every day for his health.
Can someone explain why this is “por” and not “para”?
Gracias!
The small nuance here is that por suggests a cause, possibly that the father is in bad health and must exercise to improve things.
para would emphasize health as the goal.
As you can see, it is a bit circuitous and both uses are very common.
