Questions & Answers about Me gusta este peinado con flequillo. Míralo y no lo toques.
Why is lo before the verb in no lo toques, but attached to the end in míralo?
This is the main rule for pronouns with commands! When you give a positive command (do this), the pronoun attaches to the end of the verb, making one word: míralo (look at it). But when you give a negative command (don't do this), the pronoun must go before the verb: no lo toques (don't touch it).
Why is the verb spelled toques and not tocas or toces?
Negative commands use a different set of endings. For an -ar verb like tocar (to touch), the ending for tú becomes -es. To keep the hard k sound of tocar, Spanish spelling requires changing the c to qu, giving us toques. If you wrote toces, it would sound like a soft s or th.
Why does míralo have a written accent mark?
What exactly is a flequillo?
Flequillo is the common Spanish word for a fringe (UK) or bangs (US) when talking about hairstyles. It comes from the word fleco, which means a fringe on clothing or curtains.
