Missing the Accent in the Past

The accent mark on the 'ó' in *envió* is essential. It tells you the action of sending finished completely at a specific moment in the past. Without it (*envio*), it is the present tense 'I send' (Yo envío).

The Meaning of the Accent

This form (*envió*) works for *él* (he), *ella* (she), *ello* (it), and *usted* (the formal 'you'). The context will usually tell you which person is doing the sending.

Who is 'He/She/It'?

If you are describing an action that happened once and is totally done (like 'sent it last Tuesday'), use this preterite form (*envió*).
