💡 Grammar Points
Two words in one
This word is a combination of 'saca' (a command to 'take out') and 'lo' (the word for 'it'). In Spanish, when you tell someone to do something, you attach the 'it' directly to the end of the action.
Why the accent mark?
When we attach 'lo' to 'saca', the word gets longer. To make sure we still emphasize the 'SA' sound, we have to add a written accent mark on the 'á'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Gender matching
Mistake: "Using 'sácalo' for a feminine object like a 'maleta' (suitcase)."
Correction: Use 'sácala' if the object is feminine. 'Lo' is only for masculine items like 'el libro' or 'el perro'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Friendliness check
This form is used for people you are on a first-name basis with (the 'tú' form). If you're talking to a stranger or a boss, you would say 'sáquelo' instead.
