  1. Where do the accents go? By Wayne and Garth

  2. We only need accents on ATTACHED VERBS! • We only attach objects to… • INFINITIVES! (ar, er, ir) • GERUNDS! (ando, iendo, yendo) • AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS Are you ready to learn where to put them?

  3. Accents on the infinitive… Always put the accent on the ending of the infinitive (ár, ér, ír) • Example: decírmelo (tell me it) • Example: jugárnosla (play it with us) • Example: comérselas (eat them with them)

  4. Accents on the gerund… Always put the accent on the gerund ending (ándo, iéndo, yéndo) • Example: hablándonoslo (telling us it) • Example: escribiéndonoslas (writing us those) • Example: trayéndosela (bringing them it)

  5. Accents on the AFFIRMATIVE COMMAND… Always put the accent on the second to last syllable ofthe command • Example: dámelo (Give me it!) • Example: sírvannoslas (Serve us them.) • Example: cocínensela (Cook it for them.)

  6. You try, my friend! • Voy a comprarselas • Tengo que mandartelo • Estoy enseñandolesme • Estamos escribiendosela • Acabas de estudiarselos • Estás dandomelo • Queremos preparartela • Puedes explicarmelas
