¡Hola!, Leemack:
We have two reference pages which will go a long way to helping you to understand the purpose and use of the Spanish accent marks commonly referred to as "tildes".
Here are the reference pages:
----> About Emphasis and stress, and
----> Tildes/Accents.
When you have read these you will have a strong understanding of the subject of your question.
Muchos saludos/Best regards,
Moe

Right! Once you learn the rules you start to love accents, even if they're really difficult, because they tell you how to pronounce a word! And yes stress is important and no people won't always understand you if you get it wrong :) - rabbitwho, Mar 21, 2011

If the accent of the word does not occur on the second to the last syllable, the stressed syllable gets a tilde (accent).
