How to Arrange a Meeting in Spanish
Arranging a meeting means agreeing on a day and a time, not just naming an hour. This short exchange gives Ana and Carlos a way to suggest tomorrow, check availability, and confirm a time.

Move from a day to a time
The first question suggests meeting tomorrow. The next asks what time works, and the answer proposes ten. Practice the sequence as a small negotiation. The answer about ten belongs to this example; in a real exchange you still need to agree on the time details that matter to both people.
Confirm the next step
Sending an invitation is a follow-up action after discussing availability. The duration phrase gives another useful detail: the meeting lasts half an hour. If the arrangement no longer works, use the question about changing the time rather than silently assuming the other person can adjust.
Try a short conversation

A common mistake to avoid
Do not confuse the meeting’s start time with its duration. Ten o’clock and half an hour answer different questions. For remote meetings, confirm the time zone separately; this phrase set does not specify one.
A note for real life
This colleague exchange uses familiar te forms. Workplace formality depends on the relationship and setting; it is not the same in every organization or Spanish-speaking region.
PICO’S PRACTICE TIP
Your turn
Read the four dialogue turns, then add the duration phrase. Practice a second scene in which the time needs to change. Choose the matching question without inventing a new Spanish sentence.
