Answer Question
The use of "Para" versus "A"
I just started Level 5, lesson 1. I recall in previous lessons Sonia educating me on the use of "para" versus "a" when destination is referenced. I recall her saying when destination is referenced the word "para" is used, (ex: "(You)’re going to make a connection in Miami. Flight 2532 with destination to New York at four fifteen." Under this reference I would translate this sentence as: "Va a hacer conexion en Miami. Vuelo 2532 con destino "Para" Nueva York a las cuatro y quince"). However, this is translated as: "Va a hacer conexion en Miami. Vuelo 2532 con destino "A" Nueva York a las cuatro y quince". I would think the use of "para" would be appropriate here since the sentence is designating that a destination (to New York) is being referenced. Why the use of "a" as opposed to "para"? This is a bit confusing for me. Can someone please clarify? Much appreciated.
