Transcript Where do the accents go?

Where do the accents go?
By Wayne and Garth
We only need accents on ATTACHED VERBS!
We only attach objects to…
1. INFINITIVES! (ar, er, ir)
2. GERUNDS! (ando, iendo, yendo)
3. AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS
Are you ready to learn where to put them?
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)
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)
Accents on the AFFIRMATIVE
COMMAND…
Always put the accent on the second to last syllable of
the command
– Example: dámelo
– Example: sírvannoslas
– Example: cocínensela
(Give me it!)
(Serve us them.)
(Cook it for them.)

Just remember, they go either:

(ár, ér, ír)
– Attached to GERUND
(ándo, iéndo, yéndo)
– Attached to AFFIRMATIVE
COMMAND
