JLPT N5

～まえに

before doing

Structure

Verb (plain form) + まえに Noun + の + まえに

This grammar point indicates that an action or event occurs prior to another action or event.

寝るまえに、歯を磨きます。

Before I go to bed, I brush my teeth.

Using the masu-form before まえに instead of the plain form.

Think of the order of events: Action 1 (まえに) -> Action 2.
