Thank you for your comment, Catwoman, but I must correct your correction :
-The accent mark above Spanish vowels can be called either “tilde” or “acento”.
-The line above the letter ‘ñ’ can be referred to as a “tilde” as well, but its proper name is “virgulilla”.
-The “diéresis” in Spanish is not an accent mark, but a pronunciation one, and occurs only above the letter ‘u’ (vergüenza).
You can check all of this information in a Spanish grammar book, or in the DRAE.

“En general, las palabras monosílabas no llevan tilde, pero algunas la llevan para distinguir su función:”

This is a great lesson and I learned a lot, but, I feel it necessary to make a correction.

The accent mark above the áéíóú is not referred to as the tilde. The tilde is the squigly line above the ñ.
The accent mark above the vowel is referred to as an umlaut or a dieresis.

Have a great day and an even better one tomorrow!
