Answer:

The differences are:

2a. The differences between the prepositions "por" and "para" are:

- "Por" is used to mention the cause or the reason to make an action, I mean, the reason why the noun began to make the action:

  • Yo estoy mojado por la lluvia.
  • I am wet from the rain.

  • El viaje de mis padres por Europa.
  • My parents' trip to Europe.

- "Para" is used to mention the purpose of an action, I mean, the objective to make that action:

  • Yo estudio para obtener un buen empleo.
  • I study to get a good job.

  • Teresa vive en el campo para estar más tranquila.
  • Teresa lives in the countryside to be calmer.

2b. The use of the verbs "ser" or "estar" depends on the meaning of the sentence, explained below:

- "Ser" is a verb used to mention how is a noun regarding his/her physical and mental characteristics, or his/her profession:

  • Él es atractivo.
  • He is handsome.

  • Nosotros somos médicos.
  • We are doctors.

- "Estar" is used to mention where is a noun in a determined moment:

  • Yo estoy en el parque.
  • I'm in the park.

  • Ustedes están en la panadería.
  • You are in the bakery.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the explanatory text regarding the differences between the prepositions and the mentioned verbs, I have tried not to be so extensive since it is supposed to be in your own words, I have also given examples fully applicable to the difference or characteristic explained.
