Cultural Tip
In Spanish, ‘mañana’ can mean both ‘tomorrow’ and ‘morning’. Adding the prepositional phrase ‘por la mañana’ removes any ambiguity, making it clear you are referring to the morning of the next day. In many Latin American countries, people often say ‘a la mañana’ instead of ‘por la mañana’, but the latter is more universally understood.
