Common Mistakes

  • Vamos a revisamos ahora.

    The direct‑object pronoun must attach to the infinitive; ‘revisamos’ is a finite verb meaning ‘we review’.

  • Vamos a revisar lo ahora.

    When the infinitive is preceded by ‘a’, the pronoun cannot be separated; it must be enclitic.

  • Vamos a revisarlo ahorita.

    ‘Ahorita’ is colloquial and region‑specific; stick with ‘ahora’ in formal contexts.

Alternatives

  • Lo revisaremos ahora.

    We will review it now.

  • Vamos a echarle un vistazo ahora.

    Let's take a look at it now.

  • Revisémoslo ahora.

    Let's review it now.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, using ‘vamos a’ signals a collaborative attitude and softens directives. It’s more polite than a blunt imperative and shows that the speaker includes themselves in the action.
