Questions & Answers about Dejadlas en el dormitorio.
Why does the verb end in a 'd' in dejadlas?
Why is las attached to the end of the word dejad?
When giving an affirmative command (telling someone to do something), Spanish attaches object pronouns like las (them) directly to the end of the verb. That is why the command dejad and the pronoun las combine into the single word dejadlas.
Does las tell us anything about what is being left in the bedroom?
Yes! The pronoun las means 'them', but because it is feminine and plural, it tells us that the objects being left are also feminine and plural. For example, the speaker might be talking about las maletas (the suitcases) or las zapatillas (the slippers).
How would this sentence change if I were only talking to one person?
If you were telling just one person (using the informal tú) to leave them in the bedroom, you would use the singular command form deja. When you attach las to it, the sentence becomes Déjalas en el dormitorio. Notice that a written accent mark is added to keep the spoken stress on the correct syllable.
