💡 Grammar Points
Sticky Pronouns
In Spanish, when you give a command to a friend (like 'take it'), you must attach the word for 'it' (lo) directly to the end of the verb.
The Accent Mark Rule
We add an accent to the 'e' (llévalo) because adding the extra 'lo' at the end changes the rhythm of the word. The accent ensures we still emphasize the 'YAY' sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'llévalo' have an accent mark?
Adding the pronoun 'lo' to the end of 'lleva' shifts the word's balance. Spanish rules require an accent mark on the third-to-last syllable to keep the original stress on the 'lle' part.
Can 'llévalo' mean 'take her'?
No. 'Llévalo' only refers to masculine objects or a male person. To say 'take her' or 'take it (feminine)', you must use 'llévala'.
