‘Precisar’ works like ‘need to’; it is followed directly by another verb (or a reflexive construction).
Reflexive verb ‘se reconectar’
The pronoun ‘se’ marks the verb as reflexive – the subject reconnects itself (e.g., a device or a conversation).

✕Common Mistakes

‘Precisar’ already means ‘to need’; adding ‘de’ creates a redundancy.
Você vai precisar reconectar mais tarde.
When the verb is reflexive, the pronoun ‘se’ must stay attached; omitting it changes the meaning.

Placing ‘mais tarde’ before the verb can sound unnatural in this construction.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, speakers often drop the auxiliary ‘vai’ in informal contexts and simply say ‘Você precisa se reconectar mais tarde.’ Also, ‘mais tarde’ is neutral; if you want a more casual tone you can use ‘depois’ or ‘mais pra frente.’ Remember that ‘reconectar’ is widely used in tech jargon, so it sounds natural when talking about apps, Wi‑Fi, or video calls.
