cerrarlas

Cerrarlas is the Spanish infinitive form of the verb cerrar with the feminine plural direct object pronoun las attached. It literally means “to close them” and refers to feminine plural nouns such as puertas (doors), ventanas (windows), or cuentas (accounts) when they are the object of the action. The form is used to express the act of closing those items in a compact pronoun configuration.

Grammatically, cerrarlas is a pronominal verb form created by attaching the direct object pronoun las to the infinitive cerrar. This construction is common in Spanish and appears in clauses with other verbs, where the infinitive or gerund carries the pronoun. Examples include: Quiero cerrarlas (I want to close them), Voy a cerrarlas (I am going to close them), Necesito cerrarlas (I need to close them). In progressive or ongoing actions, the gerund appears as cerrándolas (I am closing them), with an accent to preserve the correct stress.

Imperative and pronoun placement are notable. For affirmative informal tú commands, the corresponding form is ciérralas (close them). For negative tú commands, the form is no las cierres. When additional pronouns or reflexive/indirect pronouns are involved, variants such as cerrárselas can occur, meaning “to close them for someone,” where se is added before las.

Orthography and stress rules are typical of Spanish cliticattachments: adding a pronoun to an infinitive or gerund often requires an accent to maintain the original stress pattern, as in ciérralas or cerrándolas. Cerrarlas, therefore, is a standard, versatile form used across tenses and moods whenever the action targets feminine plural objects.
