✕Common Mistakes
¿Puedes trabajar desde casa mañana?
The verb must agree with the speaker (yo), so use puedo, not puedes.
¿Puedo trabajar en casa mañana?
‘En casa’ describes location, but the request is about the origin of the work; use ‘desde casa’.
¿Puedo trabajar desde casa mañana ?
Avoid placing the question mark after the adverb; the whole sentence should be enclosed by ¿ ?.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, using the conditional (¿Podría…?) sounds more formal and respectful than the simple present. Also, note that “desde casa” emphasizes the location of the work, while “en casa” can be used when you simply describe where you will be, not the origin of the work.
