Hola-
Alguien me puede explicar cuando se usa solo y cuando se usa solamente?
(y como ponemos los accentos y los tildes sobre las letras?)
Gracias!!

This might help you with the accents: Dealing with accent marks (http://forums.tomisimo.org/index.php?topic=18.0).
Sólo (with the accent mark), and solamente are basically sinonyms meaning "only", although some native speakers seem to show a preference for one or the other. From my observations, Solamente might be just a tad bit more formal, like for use in a presentation or with your boss or something, but I think there's hardly any difference. ¿Algún hablante nativo que quisiera comentar?
Solo (without the accent mark), means "alone".

I´m a native speaker and I´m totally agree. I couldn´t explain it better.

;D Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment :)
... and I´m totally agree ...Since I know you want to keep learning and won't get offended, I'll correct this. Agree is the verb, so this should be ... and I totally agree ...
