Questions & Answers about Reviso la conexión wifi antes de la reunión.
Why is reviso in the present tense if it's describing something I'll do before the meeting?
Could I use revisaré or voy a revisar instead of reviso?
Yes, both are correct—they just sound a bit different:
- Revisaré la conexión wifi antes de la reunión. (simple future, more formal or explicit)
- Voy a revisar la conexión wifi antes de la reunión. (near-future periphrasis, more conversational)
Using reviso feels like you’re mentioning a routine or a plan that’s already on your calendar.
Why is it antes de la reunión, and when would I use antes de que + subjunctive?
You use antes de + noun (here la reunión) to mean “before the meeting.”
• If you follow antes de with a verb, use the infinitive: antes de llegar.
• If you introduce a subordinate clause with que, you must use the subjunctive: antes de que empiece la reunión.
Why is there a la before conexión, and can I drop it?
