Dear Mr. District officer, Crime in our neighborhood has risen to an all time high since the shortage of street lights in the area. I fear for not only my life but my family’s. It is obligatory to put these lights back up to put an end to the heinous acts that are occurring in our streets.
Answer:
The last foot (the anceps) always consists of two syllables so mark it so immediately. You can
regard the very last syllable as an unknown vowel length and mark it as an X (it will normally be
pronounced long no matter what)
2. The second to last foot is almost always a dactyl so mark it so immediately
3. The first syllable of every line of poetry is long no-matter-what so mark it so immediately.
4. The thesis (first syllable) of a foot is always long

mixing and matching in the second half of the foot
