Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'entré' have an accent mark, but 'entramos' (we entered) doesn't?
The accent mark on 'entré' is necessary to show that the stress falls on the final syllable (en-TRÉ). In Spanish, when a verb form ends in a vowel and the stress is on the last syllable, you must use an accent. 'Entramos' has the stress on the second-to-last syllable (en-TRA-mos) and follows the normal rules, so no accent is needed.
