Common Mistakes

  • ¿Eres libre para vernos pronto?

    Use estar, not ser, for temporary availability.

  • ¿Estás libre pronto para vernos?

    Place the adverb after the infinitive phrase for natural flow.

  • ¿Estas libre para vernos pronto?

    Don’t forget the accent on "estás"; without it the verb is misspelled.

Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries, asking "¿Estás libre?" is perfectly natural among peers, but it can sound too casual in a business email. In formal contexts replace it with "¿Tiene disponibilidad?" or "¿Podría reunirse con nosotros?". Also, note that the accent on "estás" is essential; omitting it changes the meaning to the verb "estas" (you are).
