What is a accent mark in grammar?

Answer 1

e' = accent aigu = makes the sound of the a in age.
e` = accent grave = makes the e sound in best. Also in miche`le and fre`re
e^ = circon flexe = makes the e sound in feast.
c with a little squiggle under it is cedille = s sounds
e with with two dots above it is = trema = it separates the vowel sounds

Answer 2

the first accent is like a coma facing left: like \ but ontop of a letter, it is called: l'accent grave

the second is like the first, but facing right: like / but ontop of the letter, it is called: L'accent aigu. (ontop of the i is l'accent circonflexe, look below)


the third is like a hat, or like a triangle without the bottom like: /\, but ontop of the letter, it is called: l'accent circonflexe.


the fourth is like this ç but without the c connected. it is called: l'accent cedille (on top of the first e is l'accent aigu)

Answer 3

In Spanish, you use an accent mark over stressed syllables. Like the word 'tambien', it should have an accent mark above the 'e' since you pronounce tambien as tam-be-en.
