Rules of accentuation in Catalan
Monosyllabic words are not accented (except for those with a diacritical accent that you can see in this lesson).
Acute words (the stressed syllable is the last of the word) are stressed if they end in a vowel, vowel followed by -s, in -en or -in.
Examples: català (Catalan), però (but), també (also), només (solo), Dublin (Dublin)
Plain words (the penultimate syllable is the tonic) are stressed if they do not end in any of the previous endings.
Examples: tònic (tonic), àton (unstressed), exàmens (exams)
All esdrújulas words are always stressed (the third to last syllable is the tonic) and all sobreesdrújulas words (the stressed syllable is before the third to last).
Examples: tonic (tonic), grammar (grammar)
Only adverbs ending in -ment that are formed from a word that is stressed are accented.
Examples: ràpid (fast) → ràpidament (quickly), easy (easy) → easily (easily)
Vowel accent A
The vowel A, if stressed, always has an open accent: À
Vowel accent E
The vowel E can have an open accent (è) or a closed accent (é).
In acute words: almost always the e has an open accent, except in future verbs (Examples: aniré, faré), in words derived from the primitive bé, té, ve, in words like these, només and després, and words like accés and congrés that end in -essos in the plural.

In the words esdrújulas and sobreesdrújulas: always have an open accent, except in the words cérvola, Dénia, feréstega and esinados.
Vocal accent I
The vowel I, if stressed, always has a closed accent: Í
Vowel accent O
In high-pitched words: he almost always has a closed accent, except in words like això, allò and però.
