Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'líderes' have an accent mark?
Spanish words that end in a vowel, 'n', or 's' are usually stressed on the second-to-last syllable. Since 'líder' is stressed on the first syllable (LÍ-der), it needs the accent mark to break the standard rule. The plural 'líderes' keeps the same stress pattern.
