The Dual Role of 'Envía'
The word 'envía' has two main jobs: it can mean 'he/she/it sends' or 'you (formal) send' in the present time, OR it can be a direct command meaning 'Send!' aimed at a friend (tú).
Vowel Stress (Irregularity)
This verb is slightly irregular because the stress moves to the 'i' in most singular forms and the third-person plural of the present tense (envÍo, envÍas, envÍA, envÍan). This is why the accent mark is needed.
Forgetting the Accent
Mistake: “Escribir 'envia' sin acento.”
Correction: Always write 'envía'. Without the accent, the stress falls on the 'e' (EN-via), which is incorrect for this verb in the present tense.
