the words "por" and "para" are prepositions which have different uses but their main difference is this: POR : expresses the motive, cause or reason behind an action. if you can substitute "because of" into your sentence, you need this preposition ej: fuí a la fiesta solo por tí (i went to the party for you) PARA: indicates the ultimate purpose of the action if you can substitute "in order to", "so" or "to" you need this preposition ej: fuí a la fiesta para ver a ver a Veronica (fuí a la fiesta a ver a veronica)

Best answer
Hi Milania! We say "te gusta" when we refer to one thing (singular) or activity you like. Example: ¿Te gusta el chocolate? / ¿Te gusta viajar? / Te gusta el cine. / Te gusta leer. On the other hand, we say "te gustan" when we refer to things in plural. Example: ¿Te gustan los coches? / Te gustan las películas de acción. Hope my explanation was helpful! Fernando
