When you conjugate the word ir--to go in spanish, the vosotros conjugated word would be vais. But is the a accented in vais or not?My teacher has written it on the board both ways. I just need a clarification. Thanks!

I believe it is not accented.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. There is no written accent mark. This is a dipthong and the stronger vowel is the "a." Just remember "u and i are weak!"

The word "vais" in the conjugation of the verb "ir" (to go) in Spanish does not have an accent. The correct form is "vais" without an accent mark. However, it's worth noting that in some regions or dialects, especially in Latin America, the use of the "vosotros" form is not common, and it is often replaced by the "ustedes" form. In those cases, the corresponding conjugation would be "van" without an accent mark.

To verify this information, you can consult reliable Spanish grammar resources such as textbooks, dictionaries, or reputable online sources. Additionally, if you are unsure, you can always ask your teacher for clarification regarding the specific conventions used in your class or educational context.
