We are already so stressed with the traffic, our jobs and assignments and now even words want to stress us. Stay with Michelle in this spoken English lesson ease yourself of the confusing word stress.\n\nLet\u2019s count the number of syllables for some words: \n\n(In some cases it\u2019s enough to count vowels in others we need to count the number of vowel sounds.)\n\nNumber of syllables:\n\u2022 Japanese-3\n\u2022 Dance-1\n\u2022 Lonely -2\n\u2022 Education-4\n\u2022 Joyful-2\n\nMany languages have regular stress patterns or fixed stress. \nFor example: In Finnish or Icelandic almost all almost all words are stressed at the first syllable. In Swahili one before the last syllable is almost always stressed.\n\nUnfortunately for learners of English it\u2019s not true. There are lots of rules but many exceptions also. So we won\u2019t learn too many rules but just a few because that will help us understand word stress.\nWord Stress Rules\n\n*Rule 1: For most two syllable adjective and noun the stress is on the first syllable.\n\u2022 SCA-ry Lion\n\u2022 PAIN-ted Berries \n\n*Rule 2: For most two syllable verbs the stress is on the second syllable.\n\u2022 Pre-PARE\n\u2022 Ob-SERVE\n\n*Rule 3: For words ending in \u201ction\u201d the stress is always on the penultimate syllable i.e. the syllable before \u201ction\u201d\n\u2022 Edu-ca-TION\n\u2022 Sta-TION\n\u2022 De-di-ca-TION\n\u2022 Ir-ri-ta-TION\n\nRule 4: Let\u2019s look at some words that can change meaning, form and pronunciation depending on the word stress:\nNOUNS    VERBS\nREcord     reCORD\nREbel        reBEL\nCONduct  conDUCT\nCONtent   content\n\nRecord\nNoun: to set down or register information\nVerb: to record something- audio\/video\n\nRebel\nNoun: a person who refuses to obey\nVerb: to reject\/ resist\n\nConduct\nNoun: personal behaviour\nVerb: to lead or guide\n\nContent:\nNoun: usually something that is contained\nVerb: to make content (satisfied)\n\nYou can use word stress rules for learning word stress however for other words you need to practice word stress. Remember, it\u2019s very difficult to understand for the listener if the word is stressed wrongly.  Therefore word stress is important. \n\nHere\u2019s a tip for you to master word stress: Make sure you check the stress for every new word you learn in the dictionary.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>✅ https:\/\/youtu.be\/puNo0sxC3VI 👉 Check the latest Video – American Idioms I love to use the most?
