Showing Stress (Part III)

Hola

Today we are going to continue talking about accents in Spanish.

In our previous lessons we have seen how you can identify when a word has an accent according to its pronunciation.

However, in Spanish we have a couple of words that are pronounced in the same way and they are also written the same.  The only thing that is changed is that, in one case you need to use an accent and in the other one, the word doesn't have an accent.

The accent mark makes the difference and change the meaning of the word.  Look at this table:

Cuándo (When?)	Cuando (When, then)
Cuánto (How much/many?)	Cuanto (As much/many)
Cómo (How?)	Como (As, like)
Dónde (Where?)	Donde (Where, there)
Él (he)	El (the)
Más (More)	Mas (But)
Mí (me)	Mi (My)
Quién (Who?)	Quien (Who, that)
Qué (What?)	Que (What, That)
Sí (yes)	Si (If)
Sólo (Only)	Solo (Alone)
Tú (you)	Tu (your)
