I am studying for quiz tomorrow and came across these two questions... But I don't get why it is like that...

Question- Vamos a levantarnos a las seis.

Answer- Si, levantémonos a las seis


Question- Vamos a mandar esta postal a nuestros amigos.

Answer- No, no se la mandemos.


The part "a las seis" not included in the verb because of the "a"?

And I just don't get where "se" and "la" came from at all


Will be grateful if answered ASAP

.

The part "a las seis" not included in the verb because of the "a"?

The "a" has nothing to do with it per se, it is the fact that it is a time, which I can't really see how to make into a pronoun. So it can't be attached.

We are going to get (ourselves) up at six?

Yes, let's get (ourselves) up at six.

Perhaps you could replace a las seis with entonces (then, at that time), but I don't see a pronoun or anything that can be attached to the verb.

And I just don't get where "se" and "la" came from at all

la= esta postal

se= les= nuestros amigos

Are we going to send this postcard to our friends?

No , not to them it we send= no we are not sending it to them.

Remember le/les become se before la/lo/las/los
