GENERAL INFO
Pour means "for" or "to" (in the sense of purpose or destination). It is a preposition.
USAGE
It expresses purpose, destination, or a beneficiary.
Examples: "Ceci est pour toi." (This is for you.) "Je travaille pour vivre." (I work to live.) "Il part pour Paris." (He leaves for Paris.)
TRAPS
Do not use pour for "for" when expressing *actual duration* of an event (e.g., "I studied for two hours"). In that case, use "pendant" or simply omit it: "J'ai étudié pendant deux heures."
