Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'mencionó' have an accent mark?
The accent mark is mandatory in Spanish for all third-person singular forms of the Preterite (simple past) tense for regular -ar verbs. It shows that the stress falls on the very last syllable, which is necessary to distinguish it from the present tense form 'menciona' (he/she mentions).
