"In Spanish, many useful expressions are formed by combining two verbs. When this occurs, the first verb is conjugated, while the second verb remains in the infinitive form. Voy a llevar a mi hermana a su casa."

"For" is translated "para". Infinitives in Spanish ended in -ar, -er, -ir. You have to conjugate them depending on this endings, on the person (first, second, third) and on the tense (past, present, future, etc.) The big problem to "not-Spanish" speakers is this one, because in this language there are several conjugations. Maybe these sites can help you to understand conjugation in Spanish. Then, you have to practice to get it thoroughly: http://www.rae.es/diccionario-panhispanico-de-dudas/apendices/modelos-de-conjugacion-verbal http://blocs.xtec.cat/esocordemarialabisbal/files/2013/11/tiempos-verbales-del-castellano-verbos-regulares.pdf If you need more help, only ask me.
