Japanese Language
「Particles」

「-Te wa (-De wa)・ては(では)」
NOTE: Here we are concerned with wa in combination with the -te (-de) form of verbs. 

1.Indicates the repetition of two contrasting, alternating actions.

Examples:
デビッドさんは、漢字を書いては消し、書いてはしています。
Debiddo-san wa, kanji o kaite wa keshi, kaite wa keshi shite imasu.
David writes the kanji and erases them, and writes and erases them [again].

海岸には波が、寄せては返し、返しては寄せています。
Kaigan ni wa nami ga, yosete wa kaeshi, kaeshite wa yosete imasu.
At the shore, the waves advance and recede, recede and advance.

2.In the form ni shite wa (or to shite wa): "for."

Examples:
日曜日にしては、デパートがすいていますね。
Nichiyōbi ni shite wa, depāto ga suite imasu ne.
For a Sunday, the department stores are not very crowded.

あの人は日本人にしては、英語がうまいですね。
Ano hito wa Nihon-jin ni shite wa, Eigo ga umai desu ne.
For a Japanese, her English is pretty good.

3.A conditional pattern, always with the result clause in the negative or with negative implication.

a). Indicates an undesireable possibility leading to a negative result.

Examples:
「花が減っては戦ができぬ」と昔の人は言いました。
”Hara ga hette wa ikusa ga dekinu" to mukashi no hito wa iimashita.
”You can't fight on an empty stomach," people of old said.

b). In the form -te wa komaru: "there will be problems if; you shouldn't."

Examples:
ここに車を止めては困ります。
Koko ni kuruma o tomete wa komarimasu.
You shouldn't park the car here.
「Lit., Parking the car here will be inconvenient [troublesome, a bother].」

c). In the forms -te wa ikenai or -te wa naranai: "you shouldn't, you mustn't."

Examples:
公園で花を取ってはいけません。
Kōen de hana o totte wa ikemasen.
You should not pick flowers in the park.

ここでタバコを吸ってはならない。
Koko de tabako o sutte wa naranai.
You must not smoke here.

d). In the form -te wa irarenai: "be unable to."

Examples:
この問題については、私は黙ってはいられません。
Kono mondai ni tsuite wa, watashi wa damatte wa iraremasen.
I cannot remain silent about this problem.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね!
