Ooh. I did NOT know that tip about indirect questions! I assume that’s true about all question words? Love getting the “advanced” tips sprinkled in! Feliz Año Nuevo!

Hey, Marika! The accent appears in all questions (direct and indirect). We use these words without accent when they are part of a regular affirmative sentence:

-¿Cuándo llega Laura? (direct question)

- Me gustaría saber cuándo llega Laura (indirect question)

-Iremos al parque cuando me despierte de la siesta (frase afirmativa).

Does this make sense, Marika?
