💡 Grammar Points
What is 'hacerlos'?
This is actually two words combined: the verb 'hacer' (to do/make) and the word 'los' (them). We stick them together when the verb is in its base form (infinitive).
The Moving Word
While we say 'hacerlos' as one word, if you change the verb to 'I do' (hago), the 'los' must move to the front: 'los hago' (I do them).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using 'hacerlos' for feminine things
Mistake: "Using 'hacerlos' to refer to 'las mesas' (the tables)."
Correction: Use 'hacerlas' because 'tables' are feminine in Spanish. Use 'hacerlos' for masculine items or a mix of items.
⭐ Usage Tips
When to use it
Use 'hacerlos' when you want to avoid repeating a plural noun you just mentioned, like 'the sandwiches' or 'the chores'.
