¿Lo conoces?
To avoid repeating the same word over and over again in English, we use words like it and them. For example, I like that shirt. I want it! or Do you like these shoes? I want them!
In Spanish, you can use lo, la, los, or las, depending on the gender and number of the noun.
¿Te gusta este vestido? ¡Lo quiero!
Do you like this dress? I want it!
Me gusta esta camisa y la quiero.
I like this shirt and I want it.
¡Lo quiero!
In English we say I want it, but in Spanish you’d say yo lo quiero. Notice how lo, la, los, and las come before the verb and not after it!
Estos zapatos, ¿los necesitas?
These shoes, do you need them?
¡Ellas tienen manzanas pero no las comen!
They have apples, but they do not eat them!
