Of course there are many more Spanish words that are accented, but you will have to discover them for yourself. You can improve your command of the Spanish accentuation rules by reading, watching Spanish series and movies in their original version or by joining one of our intensive Spanish courses. Constant practice will help you understand and use Spanish accent words.
As a rule, monosyllabic words in Spanish are not accented, but there are exceptions. The rule that applies to these words is that they are accented when it is necessary to distinguish between words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings, i.e. homophones in Spanish.
For example, in the sentence “Tú tienes que traer tu propia camiseta el domingo” (You have to bring your own shirt on Sunday), there are two words that are the same but are differentiated by the accent: tú and tu. The first is a personal pronoun and the second a possessive. The same happens with other monosyllables such as: él and el, se and sé, mas and más, si and sí, te and té.
This type of accentuation is called diacritical tilde and, as we mentioned before, it is used to differentiate two words that are spelled the same but do not mean the same thing.
Questions in Spanish are always accented. Interrogative pronouns are accented to differentiate them from adverbial conjunctions. Thus, in addition to the question marks at the beginning and end of the sentence, you can tell that it is a question with the tilde that the pronouns carry.
For example:
Here are some of the most common Spanish words that have a tilde and can be heard daily. Do you know all of them?
