The syllables that Amber should highlight are of-, is, and gold. This is
because only these syllables are stressed in words, meaning that the
accent is there, on those words, which should be read more loudly and
with more emotion that their unstressed counterparts. This poem is
written in iambic pentameter, as all of Shakespeare's sonnets are, which
means that the sequence of syllables goes like this: unstressed,
stressed, unstressed, stressed...
If you have a list of prepositions or you know ur prepositions it is very easy.
For example:
The color of the red shirt was fading.
the preposition would be:
The color of the red shirt was fading.
The - adjective
color - noun
of the red shirt - prepositional phrase
was fading - verb
hope this helps :)
