When to emphasize

I know or I know? What is the difference between these two words? The truth is that with just a graphic accent we change the meaning completely. This is the function of the diacritic accent : differentiate words that are written the same but mean different things. We know that sometimes this generates doubts of spelling, so in we explain you with examples when to emphasize it.

We will use the form "se" without an accent to refer to a personal third-person pronoun. It is used as a substitution for "le" when we next find the pronoun "lo", that is, instead of "le lo" the appropriate combination of pronouns is "se lo".

Example:

  • I gave it to your mother because you were not at home.

Likewise, it is also possible to find "se" as a brand of reflexive verbs and sentences in passive :

  • My sister combs her hair in front of the mirror.
  • Second hand books are sold there.

On the other hand, it is necessary to emphasize "I know" when it comes to a verbal form of the verb "to know", specifically to refer to the 1st person of the singular of the present indicative or as an imperative.

Example:

  • I know who did it, but I will not say it.
  • I know for a fact that you will not come.
  • Be good with your sister!
