What happens when a word in Spanish does not follow the rule?

There are some very simple rules to help you remember which part of the word to stress in Spanish, and when to write an accent. Words DON’T have a written acute accent if they follow the normal stress rules for Spanish. If they do not follow the normal stress rules, they do need an accent.

What is the accent rule for Spanish?

Spanish accents (tildes) can only be written over the five vowels (a, e, i, o, u), and the accent is written from lower left to upper right: á, é, í, ó, ú. In Spanish, an accent mark over one vowel of some word, indicates that the vowel is stressed.

What is a natural accent in Spanish?

In Spanish- as opposed to English- the natural stress has a fixed spot: any deviation from this placement requires a written accent. For all words ending in a vowel, n, or s, the natural stress falls on the vowel in the second-to-last syllable.

Where do Spanish accents go?

Accents, sometimes known as ’tildes’, appear at the top of certain letters in Spanish, and are written as a short diagonal line, from the top right to the bottom left. They can only ever appear over the five vowel letters (á, é, í, ó, ú), meaning you will never see a Spanish word with an accent mark over a consonant.
