Ex: If we take Cindi, Albert will almost surely grieve.Ex: For example, a computer on board a space ship, o even in some cars, takes in data, works out settings, displays results completely

onto disc to create annotated booklists.Ex: If I decide to spring for this I'll let you in on what I find out.Ex: One day she indulged in her habit of swigging too much gin before going to feed the

Recuerda que cuando para expresa finalidad, se traduce por to o in order to (este último sólo se usa para evitar confusión): Me voy para ayudarte. I'm going in order to help you. Si usáramos sólo to significaría: Voy a ayudarte. Sin embargo, cuando después de para viene un sustantivo o un pronombre y no un verbo (esta llave es para aquella puerta), se traduce por for ( this key is for that door).
