Questions & Answers about Antes del embarque, reviso mi pasaporte y espero en la terminal.

Why is there no yo in reviso and espero?

Spanish often leaves out subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

• reviso = I check
• espero = I wait / I hope

The -o ending tells you the subject is I, so yo is unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast:

• Yo reviso mi pasaporte, pero él revisa su billete.
