What's in the city?

Our cities have many characteristic places we can use for different purposes. 

Most of them are public and you can enter them without any special permission, others are private and you have to pay for them or have permission to enter.

When you are at school, in the gym, at the rail way station, at the airport, at the supermarket, at the cinema, in a café...you do things and activities that fill your spare time or things you need to do for your daily life.


Here you have this useful link to revise vocabulary related to common shops and places in town.

L'accent.

L'accent gràfic és un signe, tancat (') obert (`) que posem sobre la vocal tònica d'una paraula segons les normes d'accentuació.

Les paraules agudes s'accentuen quan acaben en vocal, vocal més -s o -en, -in.

Les paraules planes s'accentuen quan npo acaben en cap de les terminacions anteriors.

Les paraules esdruíxoles s'accentuen sempre.

A més a més, les paraules compostes i les derivades amb afixos mantenen l'accentuació de la paraula primitiva. 

Els monosíl.labs no s'accentuen. Però de vegades s'utilitza un accent que s'anomena diacrític per a diferenciar les paruales homònimes (que s'escriuen igual) amb significats diferents.

Per altra part, la dièresi (") es fica sobre les vocals u, i per assenyalar la inexistència de diftong o la pronuncia de la vocal u en grups sil.làbics en què habitualment no es pronuncia.

En aquestos enllaços podrem practicar les regles d'accentuació.
