Questions & Answers about Trabajo por dinero.

Why is por used instead of para in this sentence?

In Spanish, por usually points to the reason or cause behind an action, whereas para typically expresses a goal or destination. Here, por dinero indicates the motivation for working (the reason is money), so por is the correct choice.

Why is there no article before dinero?

In Spanish, abstract or uncountable nouns, like dinero (“money”), can often be used without an article when talking about them in a general sense. If you're speaking about money in a broad, indefinite context, no article is necessary.

Is trabajo a noun or a verb here?

It’s a verb in the first-person singular present tense, meaning I work. The noun form of trabajo (meaning job or work) exists, but in this sentence, it’s clearly functioning as a verb.

How would you change the subject to we?

For we, you'd conjugate trabajar as trabajamos. So, the sentence would be Trabajamos por dinero (We work for money).
