Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'mirarme' have an accent mark when conjugated in the gerund (mirándome)?
When you attach pronouns (like 'me') to the gerund form ('mirando'), the word gets longer. Spanish needs to keep the original stress on the 'a' of '-ando,' so we add a written accent (a 'tilde') to ensure the pronunciation remains correct: mi-RÁN-do-me.
