Los acentos en EspañolKnowing how letters are
pronounced is only one aspect of learning Spanish pronunciation. Another key aspect is knowing which syllable should be stressed.
Fortunately, in Spanish the rules for stress (also known as accent) are straightforward.

Remember, how do we divide words into syllables?
That’s right! Clap them out.

In fact, there are only three basic rules that cover nearly every word:
Tres, tres, tres, tres, tres….

Regla número uno If a word ends in a
vowel, n or s, the stress is on the penultimate (next to last) syllable. For example, toro, computadora, joven and zapatos all have their accent on the next-to-last syllable. Most words fit this category.

Regla número dos
Words than end in other letters have the stress on the last syllable. For example, hotel, hablar, madador and virtud all have the accent on the final syllable.

Reglas número tres If a word isn't
pronounced according to the above two rules, an accent is placed over the vowel of the syllable that gets the stress. For example, común, lápiz, médico, inglés, and ojalá all have the stress on the indicated syllable.

Where do we put the accent mark in these words?

Excepciones The only exceptions to the
above words are some words of foreign origin, generally words adopted from English, that retain their original spelling and pronunciation. For example, sandwich is usually spelled without an accent over the initial a, even though the stress is as in English. Similarly, personal names and place names of foreign origin usually are written
without accents (unless accents are used in the originating language).

MÉXICO, PERÚ, PANAMÁ Note also that some
publications and signs do not use accent marks over capital letters, although it is normally best to use them when possible.

Él o el You should be aware that
sometimes accent marks are used only to distinguish two similar words, and they don't affect pronunciation (because the marks are already on a syllable that is being stressed). For example, el and él are both pronounced the same way, even though they have quite different meanings. Similarly, some words, such as que and quien, use accent marks when they appear in questions, but usually not otherwise.

Now you try…
State the rule number (1 or 2) that applies and say the word with the proper stress.
