If you are asking about "can" it is the Present Indicative Tense of the verb "to be able."
Sometimes if you can think of a synonym for a word, it will be easier to identify it. "for" = because. This word can have several functions: conjunction or preposition. If you have a good dictionary, you will find not only that but examples. This is a good time to do that, study the differences and choose one. Please post that for verification.
May I suggest you do the same with "can" because (for) learning to use a dictionary is an important skill!
