Unlike the other Spanish Articles, and articles in English, lo is NOT used with noun.
Lo can be used with a masculine singular adjective or past participle (the -ado and ido forms of regular verbs) to form a noun. |
Lo unico que no me qusta ... | The Only Things I don;t Like... |
Esto es lo importante. | That's the important thing. |
Lo bueno de eso es que... | The Good Thing about it is That... |
Sentimos mucho lo ocurriedo. | We are very sorry about what happened. |
lo can be used with an adjective followed by que to emphasize how big/small/beautiful and so on something is or was. The adjective must agree with the noun it describes.
We didn't know how small the house was | No sabiamos lo pequena que era la casa. |
You can't imagine how nice they are | No te imaginas lo simpaticos que son. |
lo can also be used in a similar way with an adverb followed by que.
