Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 'me' attached to the end of 'sacar'?

In Spanish, when a verb is in the infinitive ('to do' form), the object pronoun (like 'me,' 'te,' 'lo') must be attached directly to the end of the verb, forming one single word. This tells you that 'I' am the person receiving the action.

Can I put the 'me' before the verb instead?

Yes, if there is another verb conjugated before the infinitive. For example, you can say 'Necesito sacarme' (I need to take me out) OR 'Me necesito sacar.' Both are correct.
