Explanation:
When a word has more than one syllable, the stressed syllable determines which part of the word is more emphasized than any other of the syllables. We pronounce that syllable longer, louder, and with changed intonation.
We could also say that the stressed syllable represents a non-written accent of the word.
The stress will always fall on just one of the syllables that obligatory contains a vowel.
In general, We use the symbol /'/ to mark the stressed syllable. This symbol appears before the stressed syllable.
To recognize the stressed syllable it is necessary to divide word on syllables. After that, we should pay attention to a syllable that produces a longer vowel, that is, where do we raise the pitch to a higher level by raising our voice or create a more distinctive facial movement.
