Did you know?
- While lo haremos is the formal future, Spanish speakers often use the present tense lo hacemos to signal a firm commitment. This creates a sense of immediacy that the future tense lacks.
- The verb hacer in lo haremos is a 'wildcard' that covers a vast range of English verbs. It can mean 'we will do it', 'we will make it' or 'we will perform it' depending on the context.
- The history of lo is a tale of two different Latin roots: it comes from the masculine 'illum' when referring to a person or object, but from the neuter 'illud' when acting as an impersonal pronoun.
