él, ella, and usted form conjugation

Question

Is there always an accent on the él, ella, and usted conjugated form of a regular -AR, -ER, or -IR verb? The reason I ask is that I thought that there always was, but I have seen conjugations on a few different websites that do not have an accent. Are they wrong, or am I?

Answer 1

It depends on the tense and mood (you are asking about verb conjugation, right, and not the pronouns themselves).

This site has a good explanation of verb usage and conjugation. If you click on the More tab it will give you several options. Click on the conjugation tab or the reference tab and you you will likely find the information that you are looking for regarding verb conjugation (I have hyperlinked these for you below).

Answer 2

The websites without the accent are wrong:

el = the (for masculine)

él = he

mi = my

mí = me

Answer 3

I understand the info that you listed

el = the (for masculine)

él = he

mi = my

mí = me

But what I really want to know has to do with verb conjugation, not pronouns. I wanted to know if the verb form for ella, in example tiené, always has an accent on the last letter. Does it?

Short answer: No...

...I am assuming that you are referring to the present tense because I do not know of any other tense where the verb is anywhere close to what you have written; however, in some tenses, the preterite indicative for example, you will find accent marks on the final verb.

One item of note, however, the verb tener is not a regular verb and therefore what I stated about the preterite tense above will not apply. If you would like to see regular -AR, -ER, IR verbs then try one of these links and notice (as I said above) how the final vowel is accented in the preterite indicative.

Try entering the verb tener in the verb conjugator alluded to above and you will probably find out more about the conjugation of this verb than you ever thought you wanted to know

• Bad example. Tuvo has no accept. How about tenía, tendría or tendrá? - qfreed 17 de Ago, 2009

Answer 5

tener

Can you tell us where you are seeing these spellings?

Tiene (3rd person, singular, present tense, indicative mood) has no accent on it (see link).

• Hmmm... I got that spelling from school, so I must have messed up the spelling some how by accident... - Theet 17 de Ago, 2009
