Forgetting the Accent

Not Dropping the 'S'

This word is a combination of three parts: 'haga-' (the root of the verb 'hacer'), '-mos' (the ending for the 'we' command form), and '-lo' (the direct object pronoun 'it').

A Three-Part Word

When you attach the direct object pronoun 'lo' (or 'la', 'los', 'las') to the 'we' command form, the final 's' of the verb is dropped. If you didn't drop it, it would sound awkward: *hagamosslo*.

The Dropped 'S'

The accent mark on the 'á' (hagámoslo) is essential. When you attach a pronoun to the end of a verb, the original stress of the verb needs to be preserved, which usually requires adding an accent mark.

Why the Accent Mark?

Use 'hagámoslo' when you want to sound enthusiastic and encouraging about starting a task or accepting a challenge. It's often used like a rallying cry.

A Motivational Phrase

An extremely common, high-frequency phrase used to suggest or agree to an action, project, or task.
