Do question words drop the accent for non-question use?

Question

For example would "dónde" become "donde" if you were saying something like "I go where I like." as opposed to "Where do you like to go?"

Answer 1

Very observant, usador, welcome to the forum

You are right, the accent is only used in direct and indirect questions!!

Where do you go? ¿Dónde vas?

He asked me where I went. Me preguntó dónde iba.

Answer 2

Sí, cuando ves un tilde encima de las preguntas palabras sabes que la frase es una pregunta. Sin uno las palabras son diferentes, y tienen significados diferentes.
