Using the wrong pronoun gender

This word combines the base verb 'leer' (to read) with the pronoun 'lo' (it). Since 'lo' is attached to the end of the infinitive, it means the object being read is masculine and singular (like 'el libro').

Verb + Object Combination

When using an infinitive (the base form of the verb), you have the choice to put the object pronoun ('lo') either attached to the end (leerlo) or before the conjugated verb that precedes it ('lo quiero leer').

Pronoun Placement Rule

Since 'leerlo' is an infinitive, the stress naturally falls on the last syllable of 'leer' (le-ER-lo), so no written accent mark is needed. However, if you use the affirmative command form, you must write an accent: 'Léelo' (Read it!).

Stress and Accentuation

A very common way to express the action of reading a specific item, often used after modal verbs.
