It governs the accusative, which for most Romanian nouns looks exactly like the nominative, so nothing changes shape: pentru mama, pentru copil.
Pronouns are the exception and the place to be careful: pentru mine, pentru tine, pentru el — never pentru eu. And pentru că, literally for that, is how Romanian says because.
la to, at
Pentru marks who something is for; la marks where it goes. Merg la mama is I'm going to mother's, not for her.
de of, from
Never pentru. De is the workhorse preposition of Romanian and turns up in half the compounds in the language.
timp de for a period of
English for also covers duration; Romanian does not. Two hours is timp de două ore, and pentru there would be wrong.
