- Utfallet spelar troligtvis mindre roll då politikerna fortsätter att försöka hamra fram det kompromissförslag som förhoppningsvis kan klubbas igenom innan måndagen.
- The outcome is likely to play a less important role as politicians continue to try to hammer out the compromise proposal that hopefully can be pushed through before Monday.
Usage notes
A normative rule in Swedish has earlier been that innan is a subjunction and must be followed by a subordinate clause, whereas före is the prepositional equivalent, except for a few fixed expressions. However, the usage of innan as a temporal preposition is now accepted.[1]
