Come or cóme
I am working on an online spanish class, so I am having to teach myself. For an informal command my book says to use the third person singular form of the verb, so for comer it is come, but on one of my online self corrected activities the answer was cóme. Is there a rule that I am missing that requires the accent mark on the o?
Thanks!

It would be "come" unless you were talking about something specific, for example "queso". In this case you would add "lo" to the end and write an accent where the original stress was before, making it "cómelo."

No, Placing an accent mark on the "o" would be superfluous as the stress falls there by the normal rules. Also there is no diacritical usage that requires it, nor is it a interrogative or exclamatory pronoun.
If it were a command and pronoun were to be attached then the "o" would need an accent mark. Cómela [usted].
vos comés (present indicative)
vos command
comé vos
There is no such thing as cóme!
But the the commad form of comer for third person singular is "coma"!
