Empty line on a slide in Latex Beamer

By John Peck

I am using Latex Beamer for creating a presentation.

On one slide I have

\frame
{ \frametitle{fdjsljklfdjs} What is fdjsljklfdjs \begin{itemize} \item item one \item item one \end{itemize} Why do we want to know it \begin{itemize} \item item one \item item one \item item three \end{itemize}
}

I would like to have space between the first itemize block and the second question. However, if I try \\ or \newline, I get a pdflatex parsing error:

! LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end.

How can I get an emtpy line?

Use \vspace, e.g.

\vspace{1in}

for a one inch vertical space. If you want it to be equal to the normal distance between two lines, use the length \baselineskip.
