Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'sacarte' and 'te sacar'?

'Sacarte' is the correct way to attach the pronoun 'te' to the infinitive form ('sacar'). 'Te sacar' is grammatically incorrect. You would only separate them when the verb is conjugated: 'Yo te saco' (I take you out).

How do I use the imperative (command) form of this verb?

For an informal command to 'take yourself out' (like 'Sácate de aquí!'), the accent goes on the first syllable of the verb: '¡Sácate!'. The pronoun is still attached, but the stress shifts.
