2. Where do the accents go? By Wayne and Garth

3. We only need accents on ATTACHED VERBS! We only attach objects to… 1. INFINITIVES! (ar, er, ir) 2. GERUNDS! (ando, iendo, yendo) 3. AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS Are you ready to learn where to put them?

4. Accents on the infinitive… Always put the accent on the ending of the infinitive (ár, ér, ír) –Example: decírmelo(tell me it) –Example: jugárnosla(play it with us) –Example: comérselas(eat them with them)

5. Accents on the gerund… Always put the accent on the gerund ending (ándo, iéndo, yéndo) –Example: hablándonoslo(telling us it) –Example: escribiéndonoslas(writing us those) –Example: trayéndosela(bringing them it)

6. Accents on the AFFIRMATIVE COMMAND… Always put the accent on the second to last syllable of the command –Example: dámelo (Give me it!) –Example: sírvannoslas(Serve us them.) –Example: cocínensela(Cook it for them.)

7. You try, my friend! 1.Voy a comprarselas 2.Tengo que mandartelo 3.Estoy enseñandolesme 4.Estamos escribiendosela 5.Acabas de estudiarselos 6.Estás dandomelo 7.Queremos preparartela 8.Puedes explicarmelas

8. Putting on accents is hard! Just remember, they go either: –Attached to INFINITIVE (ár, ér, ír) –Attached to GERUND (ándo, iéndo, yéndo) –Attached to AFFIRMATIVE COMMAND.
