Firstly, this only works if you have a number pad on your keyboard. Now, I haven’t managed to find a short cut for the cedilla except for an “Alt Key Code” that I mentioned at the start of this post. To get an upside down question mark or an upside down exclamation mark for Spanish, you should press down “Ctrl”, “Shift”, “Alt” and “?” altogether at the same time (change the “?” to “!” for the exclamation mark). Upside down question/exclamation marks – ¿ ¡ If you look at the “ ” button, you’ll see it has “:” above it, which, here, stands for the umlaut. Again, it works just the same for capital letters.

Then press any vowel or the letter y and you’ll get an umlaut. To get an umlaut over any vowel or the letter y, you should hold down “Ctrl”, “Shift” and “ ” (on the right-hand side of the keyboard). If you look at the # button, you’ll see it has a tilde ~ just above it. This also words on capitals, just press “Caps Lock” or hold down “Shift” before you press the letter. Then press a, o or n and you’ll get a tilde. To get a tilde over the letters a, o and n, you should hold down “Ctrl”, “Shift” and “#” (on the right-hand side of the keyboard next to “Enter”). If you look at the number 6 on a keyboard, you’ll see it has ^ above it, and this stands for the circumflex accent. To get a circumflex accent over any vowel, you should press and hold “Ctrl”, “Shift” and the number “6”, release, and then press any vowel you want. Simply press the “Caps Lock” button or hold down “Shift” before you press the letter. Release these and then press the vowel you need. To get a grave accent in a Microsoft Office application, you should press and hold “Ctrl” and the “`” button (the very top, left-hand side corner, just underneath the “Esc” button). Now, the acute accent keyboard short cut works in any programme, but the rest of these rules tend to only work in Microsoft Office applications, however, this should be perfect for anybody who has to write an essay. If you require a capital, you can either press “Caps Lock” or hold “Shift” as you press the combination. I’ve already mentioned that to get the acute accent over any vowel, you should hold down “Alt Gr” and at the same time press the vowel you desire. This got me thinking that there surely had to be more of these wonderful accent keys…and there are! If you hold down the “Alt Gr” button (located at the bottom, right-hand side of most keyboards) and then press a vowel, an acute accent will appear over the vowel á é í ó ú. Then, by accident, I found a much simpler way to type an acute accent over any vowel. The only trouble was remembering each code to type for each accent.

These short cuts were called “Alt Key Codes” and involved holding down the “Alt” button and typing in a series of numbers to get the accent you needed. Then one of the lecturers gave us a list of “short cuts” that made it a little easier. I used to paste a copy of each accent I might need at the top of the page and then copy and paste them into the essay as and when they were required. Not because I didn’t like writing essays, but because I knew I would have to type hundreds of accents and it always seemed like such a chore since there didn’t seem to be an easy way to do it besides clicking the “Insert symbol” button and scrolling through a list of letters until I found the one with the accent I wanted. When I was studying languages at university, one of the most annoying things was essay writing.

It’s one thing trying to remember where to put them but it’s another thing trying to work out how to type them on a computer. These marks are given the umbrella term “accents”. ** Not to be confused with the tilde over the letter n (ñ), which is something else entirely.In many foreign languages, there are lines and squiggles on top or underneath certain letters that help to show you how to pronounce the word.

* The acute accent is rarely called acento agudo in Spanish it’s more commonly known as tilde,** acento ortográfico, or simply acento. When used to answer a question or make a statement, they don’t.

When they are used in a question, they have an accent. In addition to the above are all interrogative words. DistinctionĪcute accents also distinguish between otherwise identical words: aun Note: When object pronouns are attached to verbs, the acute accent is used to maintain correct word stress. Most two-vowel combinations diphthong unless one of them has an accent. Words that end in a vowel, S, or N have stress on the penultimate syllable. Words that end in a consonant other than N and S have stress on the last syllable. Here are the normal rules with examples of words that follow them as well as words that need accents because they break the rules. The acute accent indicates that the normal rules of word stress are being overridden. The Spanish acute accent* (á, é, í, ó, ú) serves two purposes: 1.
