Question

What is one of the

reasons accents are used in the
Spanish language?
A. To distinguish Spanish from other languages.
B. To distinguish different tenses.
C. To distinguish masculine and feminine words

Answer 1

B. To distinguish different tenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Spanish, the same letter can have an accent and it changes the whole tense. For example, perfect tense "a" means it is perfect tense. The letter "á" for an ending after a verb stem means it is in future tense.

- It is not A because multiple languages use accents such as French. It is not C because you have to look at the ending of the word or memorize the word to know if it is masculine for feminine.
