Lo - before or after?

Question

Hola,

I have another question about the use of "lo" when attached to a verb. In what instances is lo hooked on the end (ie hacerlo) and when is it placed in front (ie No lo tengo)

Gracias,

Ben

Answer 1

It's tacked on to the end of an infinitive, a gerund, and a positive command.

No voy a comerlo.

Estoy comiendolo

¡Comalo!

It is used before the verb in negative commands.

¡No lo coma!

And everywhere else.

It "may be" tacked on to the infinitive or gerund. It does not have to be. - 0074b507, Dec 20, 2010

Answer 2

Have you checked out the reference section. There is tons of information in there. Even one about the use of lo. Click on the more tab at the top of the page. Choose reference, then Spanish grammar. There is a section on articles and one of those is lo. If you don't see what you're looking for look around at some of the other articles.
