How to Say "watch him" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “watch him” is “míralo” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
¡Míralo! El perro está durmiendo en el sofá.
Look at him! The dog is sleeping on the sofa.
No sé si me gusta este coche. Míralo bien antes de decidir.
I don't know if I like this car. Look at it carefully before deciding.
El dibujo que hice está aquí. Míralo y dime qué piensas.
The drawing I made is here. Look at it and tell me what you think.
The 'Glue' Rule for Commands
When you give a positive command (like 'look!'), the small words that represent the person or thing receiving the action ('it,' 'him,' 'me') are always glued right onto the end of the verb.
Why the Accent?
The accent mark (´) on 'míralo' is crucial. It tells you where to put the vocal stress, which is usually on the third-to-last syllable when you attach two or more small words to a command.
Wrong Word Order
Mistake: “Lo mira.”
Correction: ¡Míralo! The word 'lo' only goes before the verb if the command is negative (e.g., 'No lo mires') or if you are using a non-command form.
