Secret #2: SENTENCE
STRESS
Sentence Stress is golden key number
two for speaking
and understanding English. With Sentence Stress, some
*words* in a sentence are "stressed" (loud) and other
words are weak
(quiet). Look at the following sentence:
We want to go.
Do we say
every word with the same stress or force? No!
We make the important words
*big* and the unimportant
words small. What are the important words in this
sentence? Yes, you're right: WANT and GO.
We WANT to GO.
We
WANT to GO to WORK.
We DON'T WANT to GO to WORK.
We DON'T WANT to
GO to WORK at NIGHT.
It's impossible to explain everything about Sentence
Stress in this email. The important thing for you is
that you know it
exists and try to learn about it.
Sentence Stress is *very
important*!
