hacerlas

Hacerlas is a non-finite Spanish verb form created by combining the verb hacer with the feminine plural direct object pronoun las. The result expresses performing actions on feminine plural nouns previously mentioned or implied, such as tareas, ideas, compras, or gestos. Because las is a pronoun, the exact meaning depends on its antecedent in the discourse. Hacerlas is not a fixed lexical item; it is a grammatical construction used across tenses and moods.

Grammatical usage: In standard sentences, pronouns attached to verbs follow fixed orders. For finite forms, the pronoun las typically precedes the conjugated verb (Las hago, Las haces, Las hace). In periphrastic constructions with an auxiliary (por ejemplo, ir a, tener que, poder), las can be attached to the infinitive or the gerund: voy a hacerlas, tengo que hacerlas, puedo hacerlas. When the pronoun attaches to the gerund, it becomes haciéndolas, with an accent on the i to maintain the correct stress. The affirmative imperative uses Hazlas (Do them), while the negative uses No las hagas. Both Las voy a hacer and Voy a hacerlas are correct; the choice depends on emphasis and rhythm.

Examples: Tengo que hacerlas antes de las cinco. Voy a hacerlas mañana. Hazlas ahora. Las hice durante el fin de semana. In present perfect, se usan Las he hecho or He hecho las, depending on emphasis and word order. The construction is common across dialects of Spanish and remains productive when referring to feminine plural objects or actions directed at them.
