Iambic Pentameter.
It refers to a word being emphasized when spoken on either the first or second syllable.
When we say a word we generally sayit with stress on one of the syllables. This is the accent syllable.Hard to give an example with out being able to speak.For example the word syllable we stress/accent the first syllable eg Syll/a/ble. We don't stress the second syllable eg syll/a/ble.
In the word "captain," the sound "t" is located in the first syllable. The word "captain" is divided into two syllables, with the first syllable being "cap" and the second syllable being "tain." The "t" sound is part of the initial consonant cluster in the first syllable.
Well, honey, the stressed syllable in "contribution" is "tri." So, when you say it out loud, make sure to give that syllable a little extra oomph. Now go out there and contribute like the fabulous human being you are!
CON/fi/dent The 'con' is being stressed.
The word "prance" is typically stressed on the first syllable, with the second syllable being pronounced more softly. So it is "prance" with the emphasis on "prance".
No, there are two syllables. Be-ing.
The word "neophyte" is syllabicated as ne-o-phyte. It consists of three syllables, with the first syllable being "neo," the second "phy," and the final syllable "te."
The 'laun' in laundry would be the stressed syllable, because it's the part of the word you give the most emphasis too. LAUNdry sounds different than if you pronounce it launDRY. It's easier to spot stressed syllables if you try saying the syllable louder than the rest. If it still makes sense, then it's the stressed syllable. For example: Apple aPPLE Saying it incorrectly sounds odd, so that's the unstressed syllable.
In the word "family," the unstressed letter is the "i." The stress in "family" typically falls on the first syllable, "fam," leaving the second syllable, "ily," less emphasized, with the "i" being the least stressed.
No. Usually all syllables are pronounced pe - ne - trate
There is only one syllable in the word "Watched" A trick to being able to count syllables is to say the word while clapping. So as you say "Watched" there is only a beat for 1 clap. But take the word "motor", the first clap is "mo" while you have a second clap in "tor". Therefore the word "motor" has two syllables. Another way to look at it, is to determine the stressed and unstressed parts of a word. Take our word "motor" again. "Mo" is not the stressed part of the word, but the hard "t" in "tor" is. By counting the stressed and unstressed parts of a word, you can again determine the syllables in a word.
