That which serves as preparation can be mentioned as preliminary.
Preliminary , a term of Latin origin that means "before the threshold" or "before the door" , refers to that which serves as a preamble to discuss something or that precedes an action .
For example: "The preliminary study seems to indicate that there is no irreversible damage" , "The preliminary tests reflected Ferrari's dominance in this type of circuits" , "Juan Pérez won the preliminary stage and emerges as the great favorite to win the competition .
What is the preliminary
The preliminary, therefore, is that which is not definitive . An evaluation , a study or a preliminary test can help form a certain panorama or clarify the path before obtaining definitive and conclusive information. This means that the preliminary data are susceptible to modification.

On the other hand, each of the general articles that act as a basis for peace treaties between two armies is known as preliminary. The Preliminary Peace Convention , in this sense, was an agreement reached in 1823 between Spain and the government of the Province of Buenos Aires .
In the same way, we cannot ignore that there is also the Preliminary Peace Convention that was signed in 1828 by the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata and the Empire of Brazil. Thanks to that, the independence of Uruguay from both Argentina and Brazil was established.
