"De o que" antes el verb?

Answer 1

Hola Cindy!

I agree with the above expert's answer and suppose too that you meant when to use 'antes de' or 'antes que'

It is correct, you use 'antes de' with time. (Example: Regreso antes de las cinco./I will be back before 5.)

Or can be used before a verb: El se lava las manos antes de comer./He washes his hands before eating.

And 'antes que' goes usually before a noun or pronoun (Ex.: Yo llegaré antes que ella./I will arrive before her)

It can also be used in the subjunctive mood: El quiere comer antes que sirvas el café./He wants to eat before you serve coffee.)

Answer 2

Hola Cindy.  Your question is hard to understand but I believe you are asking if you should use "antes de" or "antes que".  Both exist, but they are used differently.  Use "antes de" followed by a verb, meaning before doing something.  Examples:  Antes de salir, cierra todas las ventanas.  Antes de ir al supermercado, yo corto los cupones.    We also use "antes de" for time references.  Examples:  antes de mediodía    antes de las ocho                    Use "antes que" followed by a noun or pronoun, meaning doing something before someone or something else. Examples:  Yo saldré antes que Paula, porque yo vivo más lejos.   Llegaremos antes que ellos y prepararemos todo.     Use "antes que" before situations and events in the subjunctive.  Examples:  antes que llueva    antes que salga el sol     antes que caiga la noche      antes que sea demasiado tarde    There is a fixed expression "antes que nada" (To begin with OR before I begin).  Apparently it is sometimes confused in Spain and sometimes used as "antes de nada" (unacceptable in Latin America).  I hope this helps.
