Usage Note

Resumen means a summary or abstract of a text or event; hacer un resumen is to summarise. Note the accent shift: resumen (singular) becomes resúmenes (plural) to preserve the stress when a syllable is added. It does not mean a CV (that is currículum or, in parts of Latin America, hoja de vida).

Examples

"Escribe un breve resumen del artículo."
