Desde la grada, mi madre sacó una foto del marcador para enseñársela a mi abuela.

In Spain, la grada means the stands, the seating area, or the bleachers in a stadium or sports venue.

So Desde la grada means the person was in the spectator area, not down on the field or court.

Also, Spanish often uses singular la grada as a collective idea, even though in English we often say the stands in the plural.

Desde means from in the sense of from a place / starting point / viewpoint.

So Desde la grada means from the stands or viewed from the stands.

Using just de la grada would not normally express that idea here. De often means things like of, from, or about, but it does not work as naturally for a physical viewing position in this sentence.

Because Spanish and English do not always package the same idea the same way.

In Spanish, la grada can refer collectively to the spectator seating area as one whole section. English usually prefers the stands or the bleachers, which are plural in form.

So this is just a normal difference between the two languages, not a special grammar rule for this sentence only.

Yes, sacar very often means to take out or to remove. But in Spain, sacar una foto is also a common way to say to take a photo.

So here:

• sacar una foto = to take a photo

This is especially common in Spain. In other Spanish-speaking regions, learners may also hear:

• tomar una foto
• hacer una foto

All of them can mean to take a photo, depending on the country.

Sacó is the preterite of sacar. The preterite is used here because the sentence describes one completed action in the past:

• she took the photo
• the action is finished

So mi madre sacó una foto presents the event as a complete, one-time action.

Because del is the contraction of de + el.

• de el marcador → del marcador

It is used because Spanish says una foto de algo for a photo of something.

So:

• una foto del marcador = a photo of the scoreboard

This contraction happens with de + el, but not with de + la.

Here, marcador means scoreboard or score display.

In a sports setting, it refers to the board or screen showing the score, time, and sometimes other game information.

It breaks down like this:

• para = in order to / to
• enseñar = to show
• se = to her in this sentence
• la = it, referring to la foto

So enseñársela means:

• to show it to her

More literally:

• enseñar + se + la
• to show + to her + it

Since la foto is feminine singular, the direct object pronoun is la.

Because Spanish does not allow le or les directly before lo, la, los, las.

So when an indirect object pronoun (le or les) would come before a direct object pronoun, it changes to se.

That means:

• le la → not allowed
• se la → correct

So the underlying idea is:

• enseñarle la foto a mi abuela
• but with pronouns: enseñársela

Because Spanish very often uses both:

• the pronoun
• and the full noun phrase

This is very natural and common, especially with indirect objects.

So:

• enseñársela a mi abuela

includes:

• se = to her
• a mi abuela = clarifies exactly who her is

This is called clitic doubling, and in sentences like this it sounds normal, not repetitive.

Yes. That is also correct.

Compare:

• para enseñarle la foto a mi abuela
• para enseñársela a mi abuela

Both mean the same thing.

The second version is more compact because it replaces la foto with the pronoun la.

Because enseñar is an infinitive, and in Spanish object pronouns can attach to an infinitive.

So:

• enseñar + se + la → enseñársela

This is very common after structures like:

• para + infinitive
• querer + infinitive
• poder + infinitive
• ir a + infinitive

For example:

• Quiero dárselo
• Voy a decírtelo

The accent is there to keep the original stress in the right place after the pronouns are attached.

Without pronouns:

• enseñar

When you add se and la, the word becomes longer:

• enseñarsela

Spanish spelling rules would otherwise change how the stress is read, so the written accent is added:

• enseñársela

That accent shows that the stress stays on -ñar-.

Yes. Spanish word order is more flexible than English word order.

This sentence begins with Desde la grada to set the scene first:

• Desde la grada, mi madre sacó una foto...

That sounds very natural.

You could also rearrange parts of the sentence, for example:

• Mi madre sacó una foto del marcador desde la grada para enseñársela a mi abuela.

That is also understandable, although the original version foregrounds the location more clearly.
