Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'envían' have an accent but 'enviamos' does not?
In 'envían', we need the accent to keep the 'i' sound strong and separate from the 'a'. In 'enviamos', the natural stress of the word already falls on the 'a', so the 'i' doesn't need an accent to be heard.
Is 'envían' used for both people and things?
Yes! You can use it when people send something, or when automated systems (like a website) send a notification.
