Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'vendí' have an accent mark?

The accent mark on the 'í' is essential because it indicates where the stress (the emphasis) falls when you say the word: ven-DÍ. Without the accent, the stress would naturally fall on the first syllable, changing the pronunciation and potentially confusing it with other words.

Is 'vendí' the same as 'vendimos'?

No. 'Vendí' means 'I sold' (only one person), while 'vendimos' means 'We sold' (a group of people including the speaker). They are the same tense (Preterite) but different subjects.
