2.Say the word out loud; stress-full. It's different from saying "I", "the", "you", which are 1 syllable words isn't it?Now try more 2 syllable words: "Yellow", pronounced yel-low; "wallet", pronounced wal-let; "comma", pronounced com-ma.Now try some 3 syllable words: "recliner", pronounced re-cli-ner; "prettiest", pronounced pret-ti-est; "ugliest", pronounced ug-li-est; "understand", pronounced un-der-stand.Are you beginning to see the pattern, and understand it better? Let's try some 4 syllable words: "honorable", pronounced ho-nor-a-ble; "ecosystem", pronounced e-co-sys-tem; "activity", pronounced ac-tiv-i-ty; "recommended", pronounced re-com-men-ded.If you will go over the above words, saying them out loud and counting each syllable (syl-la-ble has 3 syllables), you should then have a good understanding of it.You can also thumb through a dictionary, which breaks the words down into syllables, which should help, too.
The repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem or piece of writing is called meter, and it provides a beat or rhythm. Different types of meters include iambic (unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable), trochaic (stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable), and anapestic (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable), among others. The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables can create a musicality and flow in a poem.
