Where did the accent go?

The singular word 'sesión' has an accent mark on the 'o' to show where the stress is. In the plural 'sesiones', the stress stays on that same 'o', but because the word now ends in 's' and has an extra syllable, the accent mark is no longer needed according to Spanish spelling rules.

It is always feminine

Even though it ends in 'es', this word is feminine because it comes from 'la sesión'. You should always use 'las' with it: 'las sesiones'.

Sessions vs. Sections

Mistake:Using 'secciones' when you mean 'sesiones'.

Correction: Use 'secciones' for parts of a book or building; use 'sesiones' for periods of time or meetings.
