Questions & Answers about Conforme revisamos la casa, identificamos otro riesgo doméstico.
What does conforme mean here?
Here, conforme means as, while, or as/according as. It links two actions happening together:
- conforme revisamos la casa = as we inspect/check the house
- identificamos otro riesgo doméstico = we identify another household risk
In this sentence, conforme gives a sense of progression: as we go through the house, we notice another risk.
Why is it conforme revisamos and not conforme revisar?
Because conforme introduces a full clause, so the verb after it is normally conjugated.
- conforme revisamos = as we inspect
- revisar by itself is the infinitive to inspect/to check
So Spanish needs revisamos because it is saying who is doing the action: we.
Does revisamos mean we inspect or we inspected?
