6-Notice the Following
Word Stress/Sentence Stress
Stressed/Unstressed Words
Reductions
The -s Ending
The -ed Ending
Intonation

" Word stress - the accent on one syllable in a word. A word stress means a prominent syllable. When a syllable is stressed, it is pronounced -longer in duration -higher in pitch -louder in volume ".

Word Stress Rule

-Sentence stress is the music of spoken English. Like word stress, sentence stress can help you to understand spoken English, especially when spoken fast. -Sentence stress is what gives English its rhythm or "beat". You remember that word stress is accent on one syllable within a word. Sentence stress is accent on certain words within a sentence. -Most sentences have two types of word: -Content words -Structure words Content words are the key words of a sentence. They are the important words that carry the meaning or sense. Structure words are not very important words. They are small, simple words that make the sentence correct grammatically. If you remove the structure words from a sentence, you will probably still understand the sentence. Rules for Sentence Stress in English -Content words are stressed -Structure words are unstressed -The time between stressed words is always the same ".

Stressed Words -Sentence stress can help you to understand spoken English, especially when spoken fast. In English, we do not say each word in a sentence with the same force or strength. In one sentence, we accentuate (stress) some words. We pronounce some words very loudly (big, strong, important) and all the other words very quietly. -Words we generally stress are considered CONTENT WORDS.They are the key words of a sentence. They are the important words that carry the meaning or sense. Examples -Nouns e.g. kitchen, Peter. - Verbs e.g. visit, construct . -Adjectives e.g. beautiful, interesting -Adverbs e.g. often, carefully -Numbers e.g. 45,76 -Negatives e.g. won’t ,aren’t,doesn’t Unstressed Words In spoken English some words are pronounced very quietly. Non-stressed words are considered FUNCTION WORDS or STRUCTURE WORDS .Structure words are not very important words. They are small, simple words that make the sentence correct grammatically. They give the sentence its correct form or "structure“. If you remove the structure words from a sentence, you will probably still understand the sentence. Examples -Determiners e.g. the, a, some, a few -Auxiliary verbs e.g. am, can, were -Prepositions e.g. before, next to, opposite -Conjunctions e.g. but, while, as, and -Pronouns e.g. they, she, us
Stressed/Unstressed Words

" A reduction occurs in native speakers’ speech when they reduce or eliminate certain sounds.Native English speakers often use reduced forms (of words and phrases)when speaking in informal situations. Reductions occur with function words, but never with content words. -Examples of reduced function words: a,an,the,are,as,because,can,for,from,had,has,have,of,or,that,than,to,was. Formal Speech Reduced Speech - I want to drink water. -I wanna drink water. - Do you want a piece of cake? -Do ya wanna a piece of cake? -He wants to avoid rush hour. - He wansta avoid rush hour. -I have to clean the house. -I hafta clean the house. -You must have money. - You must’av money. - She has to work today. -She hasta work today. -We’re going to travel tomorrow. -We’re gonna travel tomorrow. - Idon’t know the answer. -I dunno the answer. -You’re too late. -Yer too late. -He invites us to dinner. - He invites us ta dinner. -I need to leave now. - I need da leave now. - Mike and Steve live abroad. -Mike ‘n Steve live abroad. -Jack studies in London. -Jack studies ‘n London. - What do you study this term? - Whaddaya study this term? -Would you mind moving a bit? -Would’ju mind moving a bit? -Why don’t you prepare breakfast? -Why don’chu prepare breakfast? - I told him to stop smoking. -I told ‘im to stop smoking. ".

lizI after (/s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/,/dʒ/,/x/)
Examples: houses,classes,roses,mazes,washes,mirages, watches, bridges,fixes
IsI after voiceless consonants sounds (/p/, /t/, /k/, /f/, /θ/)

Examples:robs,beds,bags,saves,breathes,feels,fears,names,sins, sings,goes,is,cries,boys,bees
