Revisamos la carta de presentación y el historial profesional.

Revisamos is the first-person plural form, so it means we.

It comes from the verb revisar. The ending -amos tells you the subject is nosotros/nosotras.

So the sentence is talking about we reviewing/checking those documents.

Because Spanish often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

• Revisamos already tells you it means we
• So nosotros is usually unnecessary

You could say Nosotros revisamos... for emphasis, contrast, or clarity, but in normal Spanish it is very common to leave it out.

It can mean either one, depending on context.

For -ar verbs, the nosotros form is the same in:

• the present: we review / we are reviewing
• the preterite: we reviewed

So revisamos could mean:

• we review/check
• we reviewed/checked

Only the surrounding context tells you which one is intended.

Spanish uses definite articles more often than English.

Here, la and el are used because the sentence refers to specific items:

• la carta de presentación
• el historial profesional

Also, each noun has its own article because they are two separate nouns, and they have different grammatical genders:

• la carta → feminine
• el historial → masculine

This is a very common Spanish structure: noun + de + noun.

So:

• carta de presentación = literally letter of presentation
• in natural English, this is usually cover letter

Spanish often uses de where English uses a noun-noun combination:

• tarjeta de crédito = credit card
• centro de salud = health centre / health center
• carta de presentación = cover letter

So de presentación tells you what kind of letter it is.

Not exactly, although the meanings can overlap depending on context.

Historial profesional means your professional history, career record, or work background. It focuses on your experience over time.

A CV/résumé in Spanish is more commonly:

• currículum
• currículum vitae

So:

• historial profesional = your professional background/history
• currículum = the document itself

In some real-world contexts, people may use them loosely, but they are not strictly the same thing.

Because in Spanish, descriptive adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• historial profesional = professional history
• carta profesional = professional letter

This is the normal, neutral word order in Spanish.

Putting an adjective before the noun is sometimes possible, but it often changes the tone, emphasis, or meaning. Here, historial profesional is the standard order.

Because the conjunction y only changes to e when the next sound directly after it is an i sound.

For example:

• padres e hijos
• España e Italia

But here the word immediately after the conjunction is el, not historial:

• y el historial

Since el begins with an e sound, y stays y.

So this sentence is correct as written:

• la carta de presentación y el historial profesional

Because of Spanish stress rules.

Presentación ends in -n, so by the normal rule it would be stressed on the second-to-last syllable. But the actual stress is on the last syllable:

• pre-sen-ta-ción

Since that breaks the default rule, it needs a written accent: presentación.

Profesional ends in -l. Words ending in consonants other than n or s are normally stressed on the last syllable, which is exactly what happens here:

• pro-fe-sio-nal

So profesional does not need an accent mark.

Not quite.

Revisar usually means something like:

• to review
• to check
• to look over
• to go through carefully

So revisamos suggests more than just reading. It implies examining the documents, checking them, or going over them in some purposeful way.

If you said leemos la carta, that would mean simply we read the letter.
If you say revisamos la carta, it sounds more like we reviewed/checked the letter.
