Could you take notes of the presentation?
Voy a apuntarlo todo.
I’ll write down everything.
✕Common Mistakes
Voy a apuntarlo todo eso.
Do not add another direct object after 'apuntarlo' (e.g., *apuntarlo todo* is correct, but *apuntarlo todo eso* is redundant).
Voy a apuntar lo todo.
The pronoun must be attached to the infinitive; separating it creates an ungrammatical phrase.
Voy a apuntar todo.
Without the pronoun, the sentence loses the reference to a specific thing already mentioned.
↔Alternatives
Voy a anotarlo todo.
I’ll note everything down.
Anotaré todo.
I will note everything.
Me encargaré de registrar todo.
I’ll take care of recording everything.
Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, 'apuntar' is the go‑to verb for quickly jotting something down, while 'anotar' can sound a bit more formal or academic. Both accept the direct‑object pronoun 'lo' when the thing being noted is already known. Remember that 'todo' can be omitted if the context is clear – 'Voy a apuntarlo' already implies completeness.
