💡 Grammar Points
The Power of the Accent
The accent on the 'ó' tells you two things: it's about the past, and it's about someone else (he, she, or it). Without the accent, 'informo' means 'I inform' (right now).
Reporting Actions
Use this form when you want to describe a one-time completed action that happened in the past.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Mixing up 'informó' and 'informo'
Mistake: "Using 'informo' to talk about the past."
Correction: Say 'informó' (accented) for 'he/she told' and 'informo' (no accent) for 'I tell'.
⭐ Usage Tips
Who did it?
Use 'informó' for any single person you're talking about (he, she, or 'usted') as well as organizations like a 'company' or a 'newspaper'.
