Making plural with accent

Making plural with accent

Hello,

Is there some kind of rule of thumb as far as making plural form from words that contain written accent is concerned? I have read somewhere that words that contain: í, é, ú don't "lose" written accent in plural but words with á and ó - they do (but ofc there are some exceptionssmile - el sofá - las sofás and so on)

Or do I have to always check the plural form when i learn new word?

Thanks for answer smile)

Whenever a word ends in "ción" in its singular form, you get rid of the accent in the plural form.

La canción - las canciones

La inundación - las inundaciones


Here are some other rules from this website. alt text
