No not necessarily.

For example, an 's' is added to 'duck' to make it plural. Both 'duck' and 'ducks' both have one syllable.

Does play have 1 or 2 syllables?

"Played" has one syllable. The ending "-ed" has no vowel (even though it is written with one), so it does not add a syllable to "play". In words ending in "t" or "d", a vowel is added before this ending, so in those cases, you do wind up with an extra syllable.

What are words with stress on the forth syllable?

Rule 1: Words ending with a Consonant-Vowel-Consonant Pattern (Review Consonants and Vowels) One-syllable words: ED = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ED. * note ING = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ING. * note Examples: ED = RUB > rubbed, STOP > stopped ING = HOP > hopping, SIT > sitting *note: Words ending in w,x,y,z do not follow this rule, simply add ED, or ING Examples: snow > snowed, box > boxing, play > playing Two-syllable words: ED = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant + ED. ING = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant + ING. Examples: visit > visited, open > opened happen > happening, enter > entering ED = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets a double consonant + ED. ING = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets a double consonant + ING. Examples: refer > referred, admit > admitted begin > beginning, permit > permitting

Monosyllabic words ending in -y add -s: fay - fays day - days Plus, words ending in y that are being cited as words remain unchanged: my - mys (or my's) Otherwise, the main exception to this rule is personal proper nouns, which retain the "y" and add "s"; this is common with people's last names: Kelly - Kellys Kenndy - Kennedys etc. In addition, many words ending in -ey sometimes the -ey and add s: storey - storeys (also stories) etc.


What is the role of the syllable as one of the basic building blocks of verbal communication?

Words are made up of syllables, and we need them to communicate with others through language. Additionally, by emphasizing or deemphasizing certain syllables, we can add another dimension to communication that could not be experienced if another simply read the words we might speak to communicate. Our ability to talk to another individual and use the subtle changes in emphasis will tell another person things not evident in just the words themselves.
