Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'sacas' the same as 'llevas' (you take)?
Not exactly. 'Sacas' specifically means moving something *out* of an enclosed space (like taking keys out of a bag). 'Llevas' means moving something *with* you to a different place (like taking a friend to a party).
How do I know if 'sacas' means 'to get a grade' or 'to take something out'?
Look at the word that follows 'sacas.' If it's something abstract like 'buenas notas' (good grades) or 'una conclusión' (a conclusion), it means 'to get' or 'to obtain.' If it's a physical object like 'el libro' (the book) or 'la llave' (the key), it means 'to take out.'
