How to Say "to exit" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “to exit” is “salir” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Always Use 'de' for 'from'
When you say you're leaving from a specific place, you always need to use 'de'. For example, 'Salgo de la oficina' (I'm leaving from the office).
The Irregular 'yo' Form
Watch out for the present tense! For 'I leave,' it's not 'salo,' it's 'salgo.' This 'g' also shows up in other forms, like commands ('salga') and wishes ('espero que salgas').
Using 'Salir' vs. 'Dejar'
Mistake: “Dejo la casa a las 8.”
Correction: Salgo de la casa a las 8. Use 'salir' when a person is leaving a place. Use 'dejar' when you leave an object somewhere, like 'Dejo mis llaves en la mesa' (I leave my keys on the table).
