✦Grammar Breakdown
Pasamosalsiguientepunto
Pasamos (present indicative)
‘Pasamos’ is the first‑person plural present indicative of pasar. In questions it can be used to make a polite suggestion, similar to ‘Shall we…?’
al = a + el
‘al’ is the contraction of the preposition a (to) and the masculine singular article el. It introduces the destination or target of the action.
siguiente (adjective)
‘siguiente’ means ‘next’ and normally follows the noun it modifies, but it can also precede it as in ‘el siguiente punto’.
punto (noun)
‘punto’ here refers to an agenda item or a topic in a discussion, not a physical point.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking business environments a collaborative tone is valued, so phrasing the transition as a question (¿Pasamos…?) shows respect for everyone’s input. In very formal settings you might hear “Procedamos al siguiente punto” which sounds more directive. Remember that ‘pasar’ in this context is not about physically passing something, but about moving forward in the agenda.
