💡 Grammar Points
The 'los' Ending
The 'los' at the end of the word means 'them.' It is used when you are talking about a group of males or a mixed group of people or things.
Pronoun Placement
In Spanish, when you have an action in its 'to' form (infinitive), pronouns like 'los' attach directly to the end to form one single word.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Wrong Word Order
Mistake: "Quiero los llevar."
Correction: Quiero llevarlos. When using the infinitive (the 'to' form), the 'them' part must go at the end, not in the middle.
⭐ Usage Tips
Adding Accents
If you add more pronouns to the end (like 'llevarlos'), be careful! The original sound of the verb stays the same, but sometimes you need to add a written accent mark on forms like the gerund: 'llevándolos'.
Llevarlos also means 'to wear them' when referring to items like shoes or accessories.
