| THE INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS.
CO. Only the accent distinguishes the
interrogatives from the relatives the
forms beinS the same. Not being able
to use the accent itself in these lessons,
| its position is marked by placing after
| the word in parentheses the number Of
| the accented vowel, counting backward
| from the end-thus % for the vowel of
! the last syllable, for the next to the last
! or the penult o. and 60 for the ante
| penult. This device has already been
used in this lesson, but becomes very
necessary at this point.

horses pleases you most? ?QueQ bora
es? What time (hour) is it? ?De queO
habia "? OF what do you speak. ?Cu-
anto(2) vale este libro? How much is

tons also the interrogatives require the
accent ExamDles-!QueQ desgracia!
