Questions & Answers about Firmamos a condición de que revisemos el historial veterinario.

Does firmamos mean we sign or we signed here?

It can be either one in isolation, because for -ar verbs the nosotros form of the present and the preterite is spelled the same:

• firmamos = we sign / we are signing
• firmamos = we signed

Here, the context makes it clear that it means the present with a future sense: we sign / we’ll sign.

The clue is the rest of the sentence: a condición de que revisemos... refers to a condition that still needs to be met, so this is not talking about a completed past action.

Why is firmamos used instead of firmaremos?

Spanish often uses the present tense to talk about a future action, especially when the action is seen as planned, agreed, or immediate.

So both of these can work:

• Firmamos a condición de que...
• Firmaremos a condición de que...

The version with firmamos can sound a bit more direct or immediate, like we’ll sign, provided that...

Why is there no nosotros before firmamos or revisemos?
