"She works for the gallery."

Translation: Ela trabalha para a galeria.

[samosborn88]

can you use pela for para a or only for por a?

[Paulenrique]

Pela galeria could mean 1- in the gallery site, the entire buiding, maybe as a promoter, or 2-the gallery hired the person. Para a galeria means she works for the company

You rock, Paulenrique! Obrigado outra vez! Exactly what I needed to understand!

[microgriff]

why are there so many words for 'for' and/or ' by' and /or 'to' ? ? i never know really which to use (almost never).

[Paulenrique]

and unfortunately we can't set a rule since it varies from language to language and depending on the context =/ you'll learn by using them, be confident!!

[microgriff]

good answer... obrigado : )

I had just got my head around para involving movement towards, but now I meet this!

[GrannySlasher]

What is "pra galeria"? I thought 'pra' was a convenient way of saying "para a", but I was marked as incorrect for using it.

[Paulenrique]

"pra" is an informal way to say "para" or "para a". It's used in spoken language. DL will probably not accept it.
