  2. Pronunciación y acentuación(Word stress and the written accent) • Words ending in a vowel, n, or s: • Words which end in a vowel, n, or s are stressed on the next to the last syllable: • cosa plumas nombre señores estado hablan trabajan comen recuerdos hormiga guerra

  3. Words ending in any other consonant • : • Words which end in a consonant,except n or s, are stressed on the last syllable. • actriz animal popular mujer • borrador papel actor pared

  4. DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN TWO WORDS • A written accent is also used to differentiate between two words which have the same spelling but different meanings: • el élsisíestaéstaquequé • mi mí mas mástutúcomocómo

  5. Dipthongs: • In Spanish, all vowels are either weak or strong. • A, E, and O are strong vowels. • U and I are weak vowels. • When two strong vowels appear together, two separate syllables are formed. • leer     ==>     le-er • Mateo     ==>     Ma-te-o • teatro     ==>     te-a-tro

  6. When two weak vowels or one weak vowel and one strong vowel appear together, a diphthong is produced. A diphthong is when one syllable contains two vowels, both of which are heard. • Some examples of common words with diphthongs are: • estudiante     ==>     es-tu-dian-te • buenos     ==>     bue-nos • viernes     ==>     vier-nes • Colombia     ==>     Co-lom-bia • ciudad     ==>     ciu-dad

  7. When two weak vowels appear together in a diphthong, the second vowel takes the stress. Therefore, if a syllable with a weak/weak diphthong needs a written accent mark (according to the accent rules), the accent mark should go over the second vowel. • Forexample: • cuídate     ==>     cuí-da-te

  8. When a weak vowel and a strong vowel appear together in a diphthong, the strong vowel takes the stress of the syllable. Therefore, if a syllable with a weak/strong diphthong needs a written accent mark (according to the accent rules), the accent mark should go over the strong vowel. • Forexample: • adiós     ==>     a-diós • después     ==>     des-pués • también     ==>     tam-bién • periódico     ==>     per-rió-di-co

  9. To break a weak/strong diphthong and make two distinct syllables, a written accent is needed over the weak vowel. • Compare the following: • Ma-rí-a     vs.     far-ma-cia • rí-o     vs.     Ma-rio • in-cre-í-ble     vs.     seis

  10. All other words: • All words which do not conform to the above rules must have a written accent (acento) on the syllable which is stressed: • sinónimolápizbolígrafofácilinglés • políticoallíllámameháblame • tradiciónnaríz
