ACUTE words with and without accent marks

Each word in Spanish has its own accentuation and this will depend on a series of rules. We can distinguish between three types of words attending to this criterion: flat words, sharp words and esdrújulas words. These, regardless of their accentuation, may or may not have an accent. In this lesson from a TEACHER we will see the sharp words with and without accent marks and their examples so that you can understand its basic rules and apply them correctly when writing.

1. What are sharp words
2. Sharp words with tilde
3. Sharp words without accent

Words can be classified according to accentuation criteria. In other words, each one of them will raise the most marked blow of voice in one of its syllables. This syllable that we mark the most when we pronounce the word is the stressed syllable, that is, on which the force falls. The sharp words, therefore, and taking into account this criterion, are those that receive this stress on the last syllable.

At this point we must make a qualification and it is the distinction between whether it has an accent or not. That is, a word will always carry an accent, but it will not always carry accent or spelling accent. The word will always have a stressed syllable on which the force of the voice rests, but they do not have to carry an accent of an orthographic type. Thus, we can say that acute words can appear with or without accent marks.

First of all, we are going to see, according to the rules of stress, when the words watered down are written with accent marks. In order not to make mistakes when doing it, you need to internalize some rules. The main one is that: sharp words will always carry a tilde when they end in a vowel, in –n or –s.

As you can see, it is very easy to know when an acute word has or does not have an accent or accent. To better understand it and to be able to visualize it, we are going to see a series of examples of acute words ending in a vowel, in –n or in –s that always have a spelling accent. Take note:

We have already seen when the words watered down have an accent. Next we are going to see another series of rules that tell us when these words they do not have a spelling accent and some exceptions thereof.

The monosyllablesare never accentuated, unless they have a diacritical tilde. That is, they will only be accentuated when the accent is used so that two words that are spelled the same can be distinguished. This is what happens with interrogative particles or personal pronouns: him, what, who, you ...etc.

Words that end with groups made up of two or more consonants they do not have an accent either. This rule will mainly affect words from other languages ​​(foreign words) or the formation of plurals of some onomatopoeias.

When the sharp word ends in –y preceded by a vowel are not accented since -y is a consonant. You should be careful when forming the plurals since the –y will become a Latin –i, and in this case the rules of accentuation of the specific word are followed.
