✕Common Mistakes

  • Planeia sua visita com antecedência.

    ‘Planeia’ is the present indicative, not the imperative. Use ‘Planeje’ to give a command or suggestion.

  • Planeje sua visita antes.

    ‘Antes’ means ‘before’ and does not convey the same meaning as ‘com antecedência’. Use the full phrase.

  • Planeje seu visita com antecedência.

    Because ‘visita’ is feminine, the possessive must be ‘sua’, not ‘seu’.

↔Alternatives

  • Organize sua visita com antecedência.

    Organize your visit in advance.

  • Planeje sua viagem com antecedência.

    Plan your trip in advance.

  • Faça um planejamento prévio da sua visita.
