Technically, I pronounce “research” the exact same way as a noun and a verb: with the stress on the prefix “re-,” as does everybody else. That word is an exception.
The idea that there is only one stressed syllable in every English word has challenged me since my youth. Still, thanks for the refresher. I had forgotten the noun/verb dichotomy. It has been three decades since I looked at this rule of grammar.
A teacher of mine who speaks Portuguese taught me a method he learned to identify the stressed syllable within words in Portuguese that he also uses to identify the stressed syllable within words in English. You can make believe that you are calling or shouting a word like it's a person's name that is really far from you like across the street. When you do that, you can notice there's a syllable that takes the longest to be pronounced. For exemple , the name Jennifer. If Jennifer were across the street and then I scream or shout out loud her name to get her attention JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEnnifer , the first syllable woud take the longest to be said. Other examples: EEEEEEEEEEEMma RAAAAAAAAAAAAchel, JUUUUUUUUUUlie, A MAAAAAAAAAAAAAnda, JHOOOOOOOOOny, BRIIIIIIIIIIIIan trying this method with other words: DEEEEEEEEEEEEfinitely BUUUUUUUUUUUtter, MUUUUUUUUUUsic, sugGEEEEEEEEEEst aMAAAAAAAAAAAzing, UUUUUUUUUgly, aBOOOOOOOOOUt So the syllable that takes the longest to be pronounced it is the stressed one.
Thank you for your helpful lessons. I'm studding English and I have two questions I got confused about them. I would appreciate if you could help me about them. Q1 When ................. what color to pick you need to bear in mind.... 1- decided 2- deciding. 3- been decided. ------------------------ Q2 I think we ................ followed. Don't turn around. 1- are being. 2- are 3- were ------------------ Thank you in advance for your help.
It's well organised, clear and ...sincere (considering plenty of exception in every rule) explanation. Well, well, well, it this turbulent world the most stable thing is... instability. While Romes had declared "Non regula sine exceptione" they probably were considering not only grammar. Now my headache is to digest your material. Thank you, Greg.
What about stress shift? E.g.:I underSTAND that. (Bold letters indicating word stress) Versus: I UNDERStand THAT. That contradicts your statement “we never stress under-“ By the way,very interesting video you made.
Hi Greg.. great explantions as always👍.. I would add the words to promise and a promise. That is another exception to the rule ( like to respect and respect. that you mentioned in the video).
Hi Greg. Is there a video explaining the following words: all, whole, entire, complete, full? I'm asking, because I have realised that often I'm not sure whether to use entire or whole for example. Would be great if you could cover this topic one day 😀 Thx
I have seen some very good English lesson tutorials but this is the best so far - I have never being conscientious about placing stress on my words, which might explain, why I sometime get some strange looks.
I like this lesson very much! it is impressive and very useful for me. 👍🏻 Sometimes I guess the right pronunciation, and sometimes not.. 🤷🏻♀️ And what about "improvement" ? I would say on "PRO" is that right? Anyway you’re great Greg!! 🤩
Hello Greg, thank you so much for your videos! I wondering if you have any hints and tips for the different pronuntiations of "to". Sometimes it is like "2" an other times people say "da". For instance: "2" have- "da" heal- "2" know " da" hold. Thanks again!
Thanks, Greg, it's very useful but it is sensitive to know how many exceptions are. Otherwise, it's easier to remember how do each word pronounced. For example, the word "event" is a two-syllable noun but stress is on the second syllable. After the lesson, I hesitated about how to pronounce it, though before I used it very often :-)
The -ise bit illustrates my first point. Organize. All three of those are neutral to me. The first might just barely be emphasized. Basically, it is by default, but it doesn't seem stressed. If I think about it, you seem right. When you said afternoon and understand, you gave an accenting to the first syllable in each. Af-ter-NOON...
Hi this was really a great lesson. Thank you! I have this question, If I want to say someone's first and last names, which name I should stress and say it louder!
Hi Greg! I love your videos, they’ve helped me a lot to improve my English. I was wondering if you could make a video about the pronunciation of adverbs, please. It would be very helpful. Greetings from 🇨🇱!
in short messy language/rules. You have to remember: spelling, pronunciation, stress & meaning for each word/phrase :( the reason I prefer Esperanto as coming international Auxiliary language. I hope I will enjoy my 6 distinct language Chinese Mandarin, starting with Pinyin phonetics ;)
1:01 "And every word in English has just one stressed syllable." It contradicts the video "8 simple pronunciation rules to speak English clearly powerful (Part 2)" timestamp 10:15 where it's said that we stress both syllables. th-cam.com/video/JoOKeZlawSE/w-d-xo.html

That word is an exception.
I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I don't get the PDF file in my mailbox.

Yes I will.

Dear Greg, could u plz make video on vocabulary that required in daily life.
Very useful🌺
Yes, It was the best pronunciation lesson.
Hi, can you help me, please! How should ask : what is the guarantee period of...? Or how long is the guarantee period of...?
What here is for asking about the definition, so how long or how much time is the right choice.

What about stress shift?
E.g.:I underSTAND that.
(Bold letters indicating word stress)
Versus:
I UNDERStand THAT.
That contradicts your statement “we never stress under-“
By the way,very interesting video you made.
Very helpful lession. Thanks a million.
Wonderful lesson!
Thank you Greg
Hi Greg.. great explantions as always👍.. I would add the words to promise and a promise. That is another exception to the rule ( like to respect and respect. that you mentioned in the video).

Hey Greg! What do you think of the verb differ? Is it an exception?
I have seen some very good English lesson tutorials but this is the best so far - I have never being conscientious about placing stress on my words, which might explain, why I sometime get some strange looks.
very interesting and useful teaching
One of my favorite video on Internet thank you so much you really help me to score more narks in jamb
Hi Greg, could you make a video about differences between "Consern" "Regarding to" "Relate to" and "Refers to" Pleeeease
I like this lesson very much! it is impressive and very useful for me. 👍🏻 Sometimes I guess the right pronunciation, and sometimes not.. 🤷🏻♀️
And what about "improvement" ? I would say on "PRO" is that right?
Anyway you’re great Greg!! 🤩
Keep it up I'm Filipino and I need your video tutorial for inglish.... Loud and clear

Hello Greg, thank you so much for your videos! I wondering if you have any hints and tips for the different pronuntiations of "to". Sometimes it is like "2" an other times people say "da". For instance: "2" have- "da" heal- "2" know " da" hold. Thanks again!
Gre= Great lesson Greg ❤👍
if we had lesson at the beginning. but it,s ok however, the movie automatically changed my pronunciation a lot ! ☺😊
Teacher, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
You are Sir not a teacher you are Sir simply a philosopher of language.
question and respect have their stress on the root instead of prefixes or suffixes.
Thanks, Greg, it's very useful but it is sensitive to know how many exceptions are. Otherwise, it's easier to remember how do each word pronounced. For example, the word "event" is a two-syllable noun but stress is on the second syllable. After the lesson, I hesitated about how to pronounce it, though before I used it very often :-)
For the First Time i understand how to stress the verbs and the nouns that have written in the same way. Thank you 😘😘
thank you for your kind help!
Thank you for helping me with english!🤝
Thanx 😊
Thanks so much for your excellent explanation, I really enjoyed it.
Your videos are always amazing. I need to try to make more time to study a bit more English with your videos.
The -ise bit illustrates my first point. Organize. All three of those are neutral to me. The first might just barely be emphasized. Basically, it is by default, but it doesn't seem stressed.
If I think about it, you seem right. When you said afternoon and understand, you gave an accenting to the first syllable in each. Af-ter-NOON...
I so much love this
Thank you sir
🎉 You're teaching well ❤
Nice to see you almost laughing at the beginning of the video :))) Tanks for your good mood and for lesson with the book on it! 😊
Ayup....You are such a great teacher Greg...so much fun to listen to.😊😊👍👍Tara for now
I' m Just learning the new method to speak English. It's a music. Thanx a lot
Hi this was really a great lesson. Thank you!
I have this question, If I want to say someone's first and last names, which name I should stress and say it louder!
EXCELENTE TEACHER
Hi Greg. To be honest I prefer British accent, but we use hand out book from america for student. What should I do?
Soooooo Great video🎉
Thanks, Greg, and how 3 or more syllable words are stressed...???
Best teacher
Hi Greg! I love your videos, they’ve helped me a lot to improve my English. I was wondering if you could make a video about the pronunciation of adverbs, please. It would be very helpful.
Greetings from 🇨🇱!
Greg, you're awesome as always!!! 👍💓🙋
Television is an exception for words ending "Sion" It's rather stressed on the first syllable.
Stressed on the penultimate is valid too
Two-syllables exception: practise, travel. Nouns: hotel.
Please do a video of difference between would-Will, Could-can should-shall and it's pronunciation and it's usage
Very useful topic
May I suggest a vídeo explaining the rules when to use THAT and WHICH? They seem to be used interchangeably but I suspect they aren't.
in short messy language/rules. You have to remember: spelling, pronunciation, stress & meaning for each word/phrase :( the reason I prefer Esperanto as coming international Auxiliary language. I hope I will enjoy my 6 distinct language Chinese Mandarin, starting with Pinyin phonetics ;)
How about hoTEL, moTEL
Good I am from sri Lanka
That's amazing ❤❤❤❤
1:01 "And every word in English has just one stressed syllable." It contradicts the video "8 simple pronunciation rules to speak English clearly powerful (Part 2)" timestamp 10:15 where it's said that we stress both syllables.
th-cam.com/video/JoOKeZlawSE/w-d-xo.html
As we often say, if there are no exceptions, it’s not a real rule! 😀
Thanks Greg. Did you people use to learn word stress rules at school besides in the real life?
Teacher, can you please teach figures of speech in English?
Hi bro I love you
Greg makes a video that people can understand easily but when it comes to deliver they stuck where to use like know or knew, take, took or takes etc.
U earned it
