Por favor muéstrame oraciones como ejemplos con For instance
It’s an idiom, I know. But « for instance » is written word? I often say « for exemple » , so can I use « for instance » instead of for example in conversation? . Dime tantas expresiones diarias como sea posible.

Yeah its mostly interchangeable but I would use for example (e.g) when im about to list things or I am about to say a sentence after. I would just use for instance when I am about to say a sentence after or after I have just listed things.
Imho:
I like animals e.g. cats, dogs, birds etc..
sounds better than
I like animals for instance cats, dogs, birds etc
However, if I were to put the list at the start of the sentence (to exagerate the specific list of things I am talking about) this sounds better:
Dogs,cats and birds for instance make really good house pets.
Than
Dogs,cats and birds for example make really good house pets.
Dont use the e.g. in this instance as we most normally pronounce it as e.g. not “for example” and we expect to hear a list after someone says “e.g”
In terms of using for example / for instance to combine ideas:
I like do a lot of outdoor sports for instance I go skiing every winter in New Zealand
Sounds better than
I like do a lot of outdoor sports for example I go skiing every winter in New Zealand
This is just what I think but at the end of the day I dont think english speakers would really notice much of a difference
