Transcripción del episodio : 
¿«POR QUÉ» o «PARA QUÉ», cuál es la diferencia? En español hay diferencias entre «por qué» y «para que». ¿Tú sabes cuáles son? ¡Ahora te las explico!

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre «POR QUÉ» y «PARA QUÉ» en español?
Bueno, pues, la diferencia depende de la preposición que yo utilice.

«Por» es una preposición que indica la causa.

«Para» indica la finalidad.

Por eso si yo te pregunto: «¿Por qué estás tan enfadado hoy?»

Te estoy preguntando por la causa, el motivo de tu enfado, pero si yo te pregunto:

«¿Para qué necesitas mi vestido rojo?»

Te estoy preguntando por la finalidad, quiero saber la finalidad que le darás a mi vestido rojo.

Business (and everyday!) common idioms series: Episode 2/5

WAITER: Hello, I’ll be your waiter today. Can I start you off with
something to drink?
RALPH: Yes. I’ll have iced tea, please.
ANNA: And I’ll have lemonade.
WAITER: OK. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?
RALPH: I think we’re ready. I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the
roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas.
WAITER: How do you want the beef — rare, medium, or well done?
RALPH: Well done, please.
ANNA: And I’ll just have the fish, with potatoes and a salad.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I start you off with something to drink? Notice how the question starts with 
“Can.” Since this is a yes/no question, the intonation rises at the end.
• And I’ll have lemonade. Notice how Anna stresses “I’ll” and “lemonade” to 
emphasize her choice.
• Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes? The word “or” signals 
a choice here. Notice the rising intonation on order, and the falling intonation on 
minutes (the first choice is “Are you ready to order?” and the second choice is “Do 
you need a few minutes?”).
• I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and
peas. Notice that “tomato soup,” “roast beef,” “mashed potatoes” and “peas” are 
stressed because the food order is the important information here. Notice also that 
“tomato soup,” “roast beef” and “mashed potatoes” are compound words. The stress 
falls on the second word in each phrase.
• Well done, please. Notice that the subject and verb are omitted in the response; only 
the necessary information is given.
• I’ll just have the fish. Anna says “just” here to mean that she does not want a starter.
