In an English dictionary, when a phonetic form of the word is given, the written accent is placed immediately after the stressed syllable. This is the best principle to apply in other circumstances.

In English, there are no fixed rules for determining which syllable is stressed; it often varies between different words. In languages that use accent marks (e.g. Spanish), the mark is typically placed above the stressed vowel to indicate emphasis on that syllable.

Where do you put the acento in the word arbol?

It goes on top of the letter "a". According to the rules of accentuation, the word árbol is a "grave" word. This means it is a word where the major force during the pronunciation falls over the before last syllable, which in this case is "ar" (the word árbol has two syllables: AR - BOL). You have to place the "acento" if a grave word ends with any letter that IS NOT "n", "s", or a vowel. Arbol ends with l, so it has to have the accent. Hope this helps
