MODULE 17 — BOTH LESSONS AND ALL 30 PRACTICE ROLLS ARE DIRECTLY EMBEDDED BELOW
Module 017
You Do and You Put
Use hace for polite “you do/you make” and pone for polite “you put.” Combine these new forms with familiar helpers, objects, questions, and vocabulary from Modules 1–16.
Lesson 1
You do and you make: hace
Use hace when politely saying what one person does or makes. Use hacer after familiar helper forms.
One new building block
hace
you do / you make when speaking politely to one person
no hace
you do not do / make
¿Hace...?
Do you do / make...?
Spanish often leaves out usted. Here, hace by itself can mean polite you do or you make.
Build the meaning step by step
Hace la reservación. = You make the reservation.
No hace esto. = You do not do this.
¿Qué hace? = What do you do?
Use hacer after helper verbs
Quiere hacer el documento.
Puede hacer esto.

Language Insights
One form can cover two English ideas
- hacer can mean either to do or to make. Context tells you which English meaning fits.
- hace and pone are polite singular “you” forms in this module.
- After quiere, puede, and necesita, use the infinitives hacer and poner.
- Location words such as aquí and allí naturally follow pone.
