Estrés• If a word ends in a vowel, or the letters

“n” or “s,” the natural stress of the word is the second to last syllable.

• If a word ends with a consonant (other than “n” or “s”) the stress is naturally on the last syllable. re-loj fe-no-me-nal co-mer com-par-tir

Diptongos y Sílabas• A diphthong is a combination of a strong vowel

(A, E, O) and an unaccented weak vowel (U, I) (ai, ia, au, ua, ei, ie, eu, ue, oi, io, ou, uo) OR a combination of weak vowels (iu, ui) that create ONE syllable. au-to vein-te

• Two strong vowels together create TWO syllables. le-o ca-os

Acentos

• If there is an accent mark in a word, all rules are broken and the stress is naturally emphasized on the syllable with the accent mark. co-mió cor-ta-cés-ped re-lám-pa-go dí-a ha-blá-ba-mos na-ción
