Misplaced Pronoun

This word is the base verb 'sacar' plus the little word 'lo,' which means 'it' (if the object is masculine) or 'him.' This structure is mandatory when the verb is in its base form (infinitive).

Structure: Verb + Pronoun

You can only attach pronouns like 'lo' to three forms: the base verb (infinitive, as here), the '-ing' form (gerund: 'sacándolo'), or an affirmative command ('¡Sácalo!').

Placement Rule

Remember 'lo' refers to a singular masculine object or idea (el pan, el dinero, el problema). If you were removing a feminine object (la llave, the key), you would say 'sacarla'.

Meaning of 'Lo'

Extremely common structure used in everyday speech for removing, obtaining, or pulling objects.
