Questions & Answers about Haz el gesto, quiero verlo.
Why is the command haz instead of 'hace'?
Haz is the irregular affirmative tú (informal 'you') command for hacer (to make/do). Most verbs form this command using their normal él/ella present tense form, but hacer is one of the eight verbs that have a special, shortened command form.
Why is lo attached to the end of ver?
When you use an infinitive verb (a verb in its basic form ending in -ar, -er, or -ir, like ver), object pronouns like lo (it) must be attached directly to the end. This merges them into a single word: verlo (to see it).
What does the lo in verlo refer to here?
