Spelling correctionnecessarySpelling correctionnecessaryThose verbs belong to the group which in theinfinitive form contains a diphthong. It means aweak vowel i/u and a strong vowel a/e/o arecombined in a single syllable giving a sound whichbegins as one vowel and moves towards the other.English also has it in words like: cloud, coin.A weak u followed by a strong a/e/oin a single syllable form a diphthong.It means the u would lose a distinctsound in pronunciation and theword formed would not soundsimilar to the infinitive any more.For that reason, to match thepronunciation, we need to addthe letter y between the vowels.In this verb group the weak vowel is stressed inpronunciation, so to preserve it in writing(avoiding the diphthong) we need to add anaccent.-AR -ER �ANEVALÚANINCLUYENMIENTENirregularity caused by spelling correction
