Present historic used in English

This device is often used in story telling and especially in jokes. E.g. "A man goes into a pub and asks the barman ......" It adds a freshness and immediacy to the narrative.

Por y Porque

Would it be safe to assume that "por" is used instead of "para" when it makes sense to say "porque", or "because" in English? This was just a connection I made while reading the lesson, and knowing this would be really helpful! If so, can the two words just be swapped out for one another? Thanks!

could I use si instead of como (without making any additional changes) with a slightly different meaning or would I have to change the clause.

Ver o mirar

A question in the quiz said “estoy viendo un documental en la tele”. Why would this not be mirando en lugar de viendo?
