💡 Grammar Points
Losing the Accent Mark
When 'misión' becomes plural, the accent mark on the 'o' is dropped because the natural stress stays on the 'o' syllable (mee-SYOH-ness).
Feminine Plural
Always use feminine plural articles like 'las' or 'unas' with this word.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Keep the Accent?
Mistake: "misiónes"
Correction: misiones (no accent). In Spanish, we remove the written accent when the plural form no longer needs it to show where the stress goes.
