What is the difference between the words in Column A and B?

If you were able to read the words in column A, it is because you know those words already and have seen them before.

The only difference between the words in Column A and B, is a small little line. Although that line is small, it makes a world of difference as far as spelling goes.

Even though accents are only a small little line, they have a huge influence on the correct spelling and pronunciation of Spanish words.ContinueSlide4

Hiatos

need

a written accent mark when there are two vowels next to each other but are pronounced in two separate syllables.

The

weak

vowels, “í” and “ú” need an accent to separate. Without the help of the accent

mark, the weak vowels will

join the other

vowels and be pronounced as a single syllable rather

than

two

.

-a

The vowels separate into two syllables, therefore, it needs an accent over the

í.
