unstressed and stressed syllables apex:)

For English: Count the number of "feet" in the line, a foot being an accented syllable accompanied (usually) by one, two or three unaccented syllables, which may follow it or precede it. Determine the kinds of feet in the line, whether dactylic ( búm diddy) or spondaic (búm búm) or whatever. If it doesn't come out even, look for caesurae and other kinds of pause or break in the line. If the poem is well made, its meter should be evident when it is recited aloud.

For Latin and Greek verse, scansion also requires you to distinguish between long and short syllables.
