WORD ENDING IN VOWEL		WORD ENDING IN -N		WORD ENDING IN -S
	Hola		Esteban		saludos
	cama		hablen		tenis

When a word ends in any other consonant, the stress falls on the last syllable:
español
  profesor
When words do not follow these rules, a written accent mark must be placed over the stressed vowel.
Méndez
  José



Written accents are also used in Spanish to distinguish one word from another:


	sí	yes		si	if
	tú	you (personal pronoun-2nd person sing.)		tu ( possessive pronoun- 2nd. person sing.)	your
	hablé	I spoke		Hable (imperative)	Speak!
	sé	I know (first person sing-verb saber)		se (pronoun)	pronoun as in "levantarse"
	está	3rd person verb estar- sing.		esta (demostrative pronoun- fem.)	This
