How do you say before we leave in Spanish?

Answer 1

This depends on the context of the phrase.

If you want to only say "before we leave"

• antes de salimos" (although I'm not sure what purpose this would serve).

If there is another clause after "before we leave," like "Before we leave, I want to eat,"

• Antes de que salgamos, yo quiero comer. The verb immediately succeeding Antes de que must be conjugated in the subjunctive mood.

This also works for a phrase proceeding "before we leave," like "I want to eat before we leave."

• Yo quiero comer antes de que salgamos.

Alternatively, the phrase "before leaving" can carry the same effect, and Antes de salir can be used with a proceeding or succeeding clause.

Antes de salimos...
