Plural Form and Stress

This word is the plural form of the masculine noun 'examen' (test). Because the stress shifts back two syllables when making it plural, it needs the written accent mark on the 'á' (e-XÁ-me-nes).

Forgetting the Accent

Mistake:Escribir 'examenes' sin tilde.

Correction: Always write 'exámenes' with the accent mark over the 'a'. Without it, the stress would fall incorrectly on the second 'e'.
