💡 Grammar Points
The 'lo' at the end
In Spanish, words like 'lo' (meaning 'it') stick to the end of a verb when that verb is in its basic 'to' form, like 'celebrarlo' (to celebrate it).
Moving 'lo' to the front
When you conjugate the verb (change it for 'I,' 'you,' etc.), the 'lo' usually moves to the front: 'Lo celebro' (I celebrate it).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Double 'lo' error
Mistake: "Lo quiero celebrarlo."
Correction: Quiero celebrarlo OR Lo quiero celebrar.
⭐ Usage Tips
