Syllable Stress
Syllable count intonation patterns
In spoken English , if you stress the wrong syllable ,you can totally lose the meaning of a word: “MA-sheen” is hardly recognizable as “ ma-SHEEN” or machine.
At this point, we won't be concerned with why we are stressing a particular syllable ——that understanding will come later.
