Grammar Breakdown

¿Lorepasamosahora?

‘Lo’ replaces a masculine singular noun that is the direct object of the verb. It must appear before the conjugated verb in standard Spanish.

2

Conjugación de repasar (nosotros)

‘Repasamos’ is the present‑indicative form for ‘nosotros’, meaning ‘we review/ go over’. In a question it can also convey a suggestion: ‘shall we review…?’

Common Mistakes

  • ¿Le repasamos ahora?

    ‘Le’ is a indirect‑object pronoun; the sentence needs a direct‑object pronoun, so ‘lo’ is correct.

  • Lo repasamos ahora.

    Missing the opening and closing question marks makes it a statement, not a question.

  • Lo repasamos ahora?

    The question mark should be paired with an opening ‘¿’ at the start of the sentence.

  • ¿La repasamos ahora?

    Use ‘la’ only if the thing being reviewed is feminine; otherwise ‘lo’ is required.

Alternatives

  • ¿Lo revisamos ahora?

    Shall we check it now?

  • ¿Lo vemos ahora?

    Do we look at it now?

  • ¿Lo repasamos ya?

    Do we review it already?

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking classrooms, ‘repasar’ is the go‑to verb for a quick run‑through of material before a test. It’s more informal than ‘estudiar’ and implies a brief, focused review rather than deep study. Remember that the direct‑object pronoun must match the gender of the thing you’re reviewing; use ‘la’ for feminine nouns (e.g., ¿La repasamos ahora?).
