Hi Frances,
You might try the following:
Carson, D. A. <Greek Accents: A Student's Manual>. 1985. Repr. Grand Rapids:
Baker, 1995.
Dana, H. E., and Julius R. Mantey. "Accent." Pages 26-32 in <A Manual
Grammar of the Greek New Testament>. Toronto: Macmillan, 1955.
Mastronarde, Donald J. "Ancient Greek Tutorials."
http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~ancgreek/.
Probert, Philomen. <A New Short Guide to the Accentuation of Ancient Greek>.
London: Bristol Classical Press, 2003.
I found the little section in Dana and Mantey particularly clear and
helpful. If you need to know accents in your second year, it will be good
to start learning now where the accent belongs on the lexical form of nouns.

Hi,
I haven't been following the thread on accents, but since we're all talking
about it, are there any articles that people could point me to outlining the
usage of accents in an easy to understand fashion? I'm doing first year
Greek, and I'm told that in second year we will be getting marked on our use
of accents. I'm sure we'll have it explained to us, but I'm starting to get
to the point where there are just to many whys.
Thanks
Frances
