Acentuation - Stress

A very concise and lucid explanation of where to apply written accents:-

Stress
Stress falls on the last syllable of a word, e.g. comer,
unless the word ends in a vowel, n or s, in which case
the stress falls on the next-to-last syllable, e.g. andaba, comes.
All exceptions to this rule have an accent (´) on the
vowel to be stressed: lápiz, condición, magnífico.

I have literally copied and printed it out and pasted it into many of my text books and dictionaries. I find it most useful, I hope it will be equally helpful to some of you too.

STAY WELL!
S.P.
