► TRANSCRIPTION
What's the difference between hurricane and Harry Kane? And what's the difference between the Super Bowl and a super bowl? Well, the answer is word stress, and it's a really important aspect of pronunciation. And today I'm going to teach you 8 simple word stress rules so that you can speak English more clearly and accurately. Let's go.
So before we start, there is a simple way for you to know where the stressed syllable is in every word in English, and that is by just learning some basic phonetics. If you look in the dictionary and see the phonetic transcription for a word, there is a little apostrophe type thing just before the stressed syllable in every word. And every word in English has just one stressed syllable. So look at these words and also listen to hear how I stress the stressed syllable in these words. Photograph, photograph. Here the stressed syllable is the first syllable, pho- photograph. Photography, photography. See the little apostrophe before the second syllable? Photography. And photographic, photographic. Here we stress the third syllable, photographic, and you have the little ' before that in the phonetic transcription. So learn some phonetics, it will make your life easier, I promise.
Okay, so let's have a look now at these 8 simple rules. Every rule has exceptions in English, so maybe we should call them guidelines, whatever you want to call them. We have 8 simple ways for you to speak more clearly using correct word stress in English. So let's go.
Okay, the first rule is related to words that have 2 syllables. So look at these nouns that have 2 syllables and tell me where the stress is. Campus, county, maker, picture, water, entry. That's right. With 2 syllable nouns, the stress goes on the first syllable. Now, listen to these adjectives. Happy, pretty, royal, mobile, local. Again, with nouns and adjectives that have 2 syllables, we stress the first syllable. And don't worry, I've put all these examples and a summary of all today's rules in a free worksheet for you. You can download that PDF and get all of these examples and rules for your reference just for you. There's a link up there and there's a link in the description too.
Okay, let's have a look at some more words with 2 syllables. Okay, rule 2 also relates to words that have 2 syllables, but in this case, we're looking at verbs. So listen to these verbs and tell me where the stress is. Repeat, collect, forgive, allow, prefer, impose. That's right. With verbs that have 2 syllables, the stress is on the second syllable. And yes, there are exceptions. Feel free to write any exceptions in the comments, but generally, this rule is true.
Now, there are some situations where we have one word that can be a verb and a noun. So what do we do in those situations? Well, that's rule number 3.

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.
I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I don't get the PDF file in my mailbox.
Grey, When are you planning to go live?
Yes I will.
Thanks , very useful ! even for English teachers like me. I discovered a few clothes I didn't know about.
I asked my English teacher exactly about word stress rules last week. He answered that there are a lot of them and the best way to assimilate these rules would be to look up dictionaries. You gave me for free what I was looking for. Thank you very much, teacher Greg!

espectacular!!!!
Excellent video professor Greg. I have learned a lot!.
Very useful🌺
Wonderful lesson!
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, Greg
Thank you Greg for being specific❤
Thanks for making it easier! I have an exam in two days and I really needed this video! 💓💓💓
Yur in university now ???? ❤
thank you for your kind help!
Very helpful lession. Thanks a million.
Hi Greg, thanks for the video, i would have enjoyed to learn the pronunciation at school as you teach it . Keep up doing the good work ! Cheers 😉
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.
Excellent post!!👍thx so much.😮
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).
I have tried again and it worked this time. Thank you Greg
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.
👍👍👍Thanks a lot!!!
Thanks so much for your excellent explanation, I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Greg
I so much love this
Thank you sir

Very useful topic
One of my favorite video on Internet thank you so much you really help me to score more narks in jamb
THANKS A LOT
Thx a bunch Gregg !!!!
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 🇨🇱!
Your videos are always amazing. I need to try to make more time to study a bit more English with your videos.
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.
@@AdamAdam33-ts1hv thank you very much
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
question and respect have their stress on the root instead of prefixes or suffixes.
Teacher, thank you so much ❤❤❤❤
Cannot thank enough, děkuji mnohokrát, Hana
Hi Greg. To be honest I prefer British accent, but we use hand out book from america for student. What should I do?
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 Greg, could you make a video about differences between "Consern" "Regarding to" "Relate to" and "Refers to" Pleeeease
Soooooo Great video🎉
Ayup....You are such a great teacher Greg...so much fun to listen to.😊😊👍👍Tara for now
Sir can you make a video on the word dungeon and how it pronounced as duhn jn please
Thanks
Thanks, Greg, and how 3 or more syllable words are stressed...???
I like his lessons and I like him 😂too 🤓
Keep it up I'm Filipino and I need your video tutorial for inglish.... Loud and clear
Will do!😀
Great ❤
Teacher, can you please teach figures of speech in English?
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! 😊
Greg, you're awesome as always!!! 👍💓🙋
Hey Greg! What do you think of the verb differ? Is it an exception?
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!! 🤩
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 :-)
Best teacher ever. All the way from Nigeria I've learnt so much from you.
Two-syllables exception: practise, travel. Nouns: hotel.
Thank you for this amazing explanation, Sir. Really it was very helpful for us. (From Algeria😊)
U earned it
Great
good man)
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.
Best teacher
You are Sir not a teacher you are Sir simply a philosopher of language.
Thanks Greg. Did you people use to learn word stress rules at school besides in the real life?
unique lesson
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.
Please do a video of difference between would-Will, Could-can should-shall and it's pronunciation and it's usage
Greg, can you do passive voice and active voice
@English with Greg - !!! ❤🍾🍾🍾❤!!!
Cool
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!
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.
I was pronouncing "hotel" wrong for like 10 years :D Until I learnt the stress is on the second syllable (not at first like the most of nouns and adjectives)...
Please mention about camebrige dictionary for pronounce of sound
