Questions & Answers about Yo también las colecciono; me encanta guardarlas en un álbum especial.

Why is the pronoun las used in las colecciono?

Las is a direct object pronoun referring to something plural and feminine (like cards or stamps). Since the speaker is collecting these items, the direct object pronoun las stands in for "them" in English.

Why do we attach las to the end of guardar in guardarlas?

In Spanish, object pronouns can be attached to the end of infinitive verbs like guardar. This is common when the verb is not yet conjugated, resulting in guardarlas ("to keep them").

What does me encanta literally mean, and why is the pronoun me used?

Me encanta literally means "it delights me" or "it enchants me." The pronoun me shows who is experiencing the delight—so it's "delights me," rather than "I delight."

Why do we say Yo también instead of just También?

Adding Yo (“I”) emphasizes that the speaker is also doing the action. While también alone could be understood, Yo también is more explicit and emphasizes the sentence’s subject.

Why is un álbum especial in singular form even if you collect many items?

Although multiple items are collected, they are all kept in one special album. That’s why it’s referred to as un álbum especial, focusing on the single place where everything is stored.
