antes que?

Question

Nos queda dos meses antes que nos veamos.

is that correct?

is it also correct to say

Nos queda dos meses antes que nos veremos.

If you use antes que but are then using the future tense does it have to be future subjunctive?

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

HI churri, welcome to the forum

Your sentence needs

antes DE que.....

Nos quedan dos meses antes de que nos veamos.

Answer 2

cool cool thanks! :o)

Answer 3

You do need the subjunctive here, as the future is implied here.

Limpiaré la casa antes de que llegues.

Although my sentence is in the future, I am using present subjunctive because there is no future sunjunctive. In Spanish, the present subjunctive can imply the future anyway.

So your first sentence, is correct. Nos quedaN dos meses antes de que nos veamos. But I think a better way to say it is "Nos quedan dos meses para vernos." (I think it is best to use Antes DE que, well that is what I've learned.)

Your 1st answer is correct, but the original phrase in question is missing "de," so it's not quite correct. - 005faa61, Dec 18, 2009
