TITLE: Pronunciation: noun vs. verb.
Is English your favourite subJECT? Impossible. It could, however, be your favourite SUBject. There's a difference in pronunciation. When you want to say that English is your favourite SUBject-you are using the noun form of the word and the emphasis is on the first syllable SUB.
The emphasis shifts to the second syllable JECT when you use the same word as a verb. For example, I’m going to subJECT you to a lesson in English pronunciation.
In this video, you will find many more examples of bisyllabic words we mispronounce because we mix up the pronunciation of the noun and verb forms.
What's bisyllabic, by the way? Find out what that means. Or, for that matter, what syllable means.
And of course, you will be introduced to the rule of pronunciation in such cases.
Words like desert, refuse, present, conflict, convert, address, content, suspect, project, converse, import and even perfect can trip you up.
There are also two bonus verbs -- one monosyllabic and the other trisyllabic. In the first case, it's a common word we use every day, all day. Imagine if you've been pronouncing it wrong!
