💡 Grammar Points
A Three-Part Word
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').
The Dropped 'S'
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.
Why the Accent Mark?
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.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Forgetting the Accent
Mistake: "Hagamoslo (without the accent)"
Correction: Hagámoslo. Without the accent, the stress shifts to the 'o' (hagamosLOH), changing the pronunciation and making it difficult to understand.
Not Dropping the 'S'
Mistake: "Hagamosslo"
Correction: Hagámoslo. Remember, the final 's' of the 'nosotros' command form must be removed before attaching the pronoun 'lo'.
