Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, asking directly about deadlines is acceptable, but adding a polite buffer (e.g., "¿Podrías confirmarme…?" or "¿Sería posible saber…?") shows respect for the interlocutor’s schedule. Also, note that the passive‑reflexive se + verb is preferred over the passive voice with ser + participle in everyday business talk.
