The verb
dar (see Table
1 ) has an accent on the forms that look like the preposition
de to differentiate the verb forms from the preposition. In addition, the
vosotros/vosotras form does not have an accent because it is only one syllable. The verb
estar (see Table
2 ) has accents on all forms except the
nosotros/nosotras form because of the general rule of accentuation.
