Plurals such as the word "situación" to "situaciones" lose their accent because the stress now falls on the second to the last syllable, which is the usual pronunciation.

A word such as "árbol" does not lose its accent because we still stress the "á" with the plural "árboles."


The word "ciento" is shortened to "cien" before preceding a noun of either gender.
