Revisarla

Revisarla is a Spanish verbal form that combines the verb revisar (to review, to check) with the feminine direct object pronoun la. The combination is used when the object being reviewed is feminine and singular, such as una factura or una tarjeta, and it is treated as a single word in many grammatical contexts, especially when paired with an infinitive, a gerund, or an affirmative command.

In ordinary finite tenses, the pronoun la typically appears before the conjugated verb: la reviso, la revisaste, la revisaré. When the sentence uses an infinitive, a periphrasis with an auxiliary, or a gerund, the pronoun can attach to the infinitive or gerund: voy a revisarla, tengo que revisarla, estoy revisándola. Both voy a revisarla and voy a revisarla are commonly understood, with a preference in some registers for explicit pronoun placement before the finite verb.

Usage notes include the gender and number agreement: if the object were masculine, the pronoun would be lo (revisarlo); if plural feminine, las (revisarlas); if plural masculine, los (revisarlos). The form revisarla also appears in affirmative imperatives with a stressed accent to preserve the original stress: revísala (you, informal, review it). In negative commands, the pronoun typically precedes the verb: no la revises.

Revisarla is a typical example of clitic pronouns attached to verbs in Spanish and illustrates how object references are integrated into periphrastic constructions and commands, while maintaining agreement with the noun they replace.
