If a word ends in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), n, or s, then the natural stress falls on the next to last syllable and there is no written accent. The table below breaks down the word interesante. in te re SAN te third from last next to last last Some examples of this rule include: palabra, imposible, examen, estrellas, etc. All exceptions to this pattern must have a written accent mark. These are words that end in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), n, or s, and the stressed syllable is not the next to last. The following table analyzes the words Panamá and película, and shows why they need accent marks. pe Pa na MÁ LÍ cu la third from last next to last last
Some examples of this part of the rule include: mamá, aquí, menú, millón, inglés, etc. Words that end in a consonant (besides n or s) If a word ends in a consonant other than n or s, then the natural stress falls on the last syllable and there is no written accent. For example, consider the word felicidad: fe li ci DAD third from last next to last last Some examples of this rule include: regresar, mujer, caracol, reloj, ajedrez, etc. All exceptions to this pattern must have a written accent mark. These are words that end in a consonant other than n or s, and the stressed syllable is not the last one. For example, the word difícil, which requires a written accent: di FÍ cil third from last next to last last Some examples of this part of the rule include: Gómez, lápiz, fácil, imbécil, cárcel, etc. Three or more syllable words In any word of three syllables or more, if the natural spoken stress falls on any syllable other than the last or the next to the last, the vowel of that syllable must be marked with a written accent. For example, the word relámpago: re LÁM pa go third from last next to last last Question words Interrogative (question) words carry a written accent when they are used to ask a question. The following are some examples. Qué? What? Which? Quién(es)? Who?
Por qué? Why? A quién(es)? To whom? Para qué? What for? Con quién(es)? With whom? Qué tal? How? De quién(es)? Whose? Cuál(es)? Which one(s)? Dónde? Where? Cuánto/a? How much? Adónde? Where to? Cuántos/as? How many? De dónde? Where from? Cuándo? When? Cómo? How? Now try to correctly accentuate the following words.

The purpose of reflexive object pronouns is to show that the action of the verb remains with the subject. The following table shows the six reflexive pronouns in Spanish, along with their English equivalents in parentheses. me (myself) te (yourself [informal]) REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS nos (ourselves) os (yourselves [informal])
se (himself, herself, yourself [formal]) se (themselves, yourselves [formal]) Reflexive Verbs A reflexive verb is formed by adding a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se) before the conjugated verb or attached to the end of an infinitive verb, present participle, or affirmative command. The reflexive pronoun used agrees in person and number with the conjugated verb. The following table shows the conjugation of a common reflexive verb. me lavo (I wash myself) LAVARSE (to wash oneself) nos lavamos (we wash ourselves)
te lavas (you wash yourself) os laváis (you [plural] wash yourselves)
se lava (he washes himself) (she washes herself) (you [Ud.] wash yourself) se lavan (they wash themselves) (you [plural] wash yourselves) As you may have already noticed, reflexive verbs are used when speaking about one s daily routine of getting ready in the morning and going to bed at night. You ll see a list of daily routine verbs listed below.
