The Accent Mark Rule
The 'ú' has an accent mark because it forces the 'a' and 'u' to be pronounced as two separate sounds instead of one smooth sound.
Missing the Accent
Mistake: “Writing 'baul' without the accent.”
Correction: Always write 'baúl'. Without the accent, the pronunciation would change completely and sound like one syllable.
