💡 Grammar Points
Two Words in One
This word is a combination of 'vender' (to sell) and 'lo' (it). In Spanish, you attach the 'it' directly to the end of the 'to' form of the verb.
The Moving 'It'
When you use a helping verb like 'quiero' (I want), you can say 'quiero venderlo'. But if you use the verb alone, 'lo' moves to the front: 'Lo vendo' (I sell it).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Wrong Word Order
Mistake: "Saying 'vender lo' as two separate words."
Correction: Always write it as one word 'venderlo' when the 'lo' is attached to the end.
Gender Matching
Mistake: "Using 'venderlo' for a house (la casa)."
Correction: Since 'casa' is feminine, you must use 'venderla' instead.
⭐ Usage Tips
When to Use This Form
Use 'venderlo' whenever you are using the 'to sell' form, such as after 'para' (for/in order to) or 'poder' (to be able to).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 'venderlo' one word or two?
In Spanish, it is written as a single word when the pronoun 'lo' is attached to the infinitive form 'vender'.
Can I say 'lo vender'?
No, if you use the 'to' form of the verb, the 'lo' must go at the end: 'venderlo'. However, you can say 'lo quiero vender' (I want to sell it) because 'lo' can jump to the very front of the verb pair.
