When to emphasize where

Do you know that there are words that change their meaning or function in the sentence depending on whether they carry accents or not? It is known as a diacritic accent and serves to distinguish between two words that are written the same but that accentuate acquire a meaning of their own or a different function. A good example is the case of more and more, I know what and what. On the other hand, the word where it also enters this group, for that reason it is necessary to understand at what moment it deserves tilde and what does not. In we explain when to emphasize where .

When to emphasize where

The word where, as it happens in the case that, like, which, who or who, will only accent when a direct interrogative or exclamatory sentence is found, that is to say with the question marks or exclamation written, or indirectly, without them but retaining character of doubt or surprise in prayer. Examples:

Where did you find my pen?

"I do not understand where the address you indicate is"

"I never find the things where I left them!"

When NOT to emphasize where

But if the word where it is not in an interrogative and exclamatory phrase, and rather works as a relative adverb within the sentence, then it should not be accentuated. Examples:

"I live where the blue house is"

"The place where I was born is beautiful"

"That town is where Christ lost the shoes"
