innan

In a sentence

• Jag måste städa rummet innan gästerna kommer.

  I must clean the room before the guests arrive.

  'Innan' is used here as a conjunction introducing a time clause, describing the action that must happen before a specific event occurs.

• Han hann inte avsluta sitt arbete innan mötet.

  He did not finish his work before the meeting.

  'Innan' introduces the context of 'before' in a specific time frame, connecting two events sequentially.

• Innan vi går, ska vi dubbelkolla allt.

  Before we leave, we will double-check everything.

  In this sentence, 'innan' functions similarly by leading into a subordinate clause specifying a time sequence.
