Questions & Answers about Reciclen el plástico en los contenedores azules.
Why does the verb reciclar change to reciclen with an -en ending?
Why is it contenedores azules instead of contenedors azuls?
Why is there an accent mark on plástico?
The accent mark shows you exactly which syllable to emphasize when speaking. Words that end in a vowel normally stress the second-to-last syllable (which would sound like plas-TI-co). Because the stress actually belongs on the first syllable (PLAS-ti-co), it requires a written accent mark to break the rule.
Can the word en mean both 'in' and 'into'?
